11,968 Pointsunexpected end of input
Not sure what is wrong with my code as it matches Dave's code (from what I can see). When I open up the console it says "Syntax error: Unexpected input" on js line 1
Below is my actual code if anyone has a suggestion. Thanks!
var questions = [
['How many states are in the United States?', 50],
['How many continents are there?', 7],
['How many legs does an insect have?', 6]
];
var correctAnswers = 0;
var question;
var answer;
var response;
var correct = [];
var wrong = [];
function print(message) {
var outputDiv = document.getElementById('output');
outputDiv.innerHTML = message;
}
function buildList(arr) {
var listHTML = '<ol>';
for (var i = 0; i <arr.length; i +=1) {
listHTML += '<li>' + arr[i] + '<li>';
}
listHTML += '</ol>';
return listHTML;
for (var i = 0; i < questions.length; i += 1) {
question = questions[i][0];
answer = questions[i][1];
response = prompt(question);
response = parseInt(response);
if (response === answer) {
correctAnswers += 1;
correct.push(question);
} else {
wrong.push(question);
}
}
html = "You got " + correctAnswers + " question(s) right."
html += '<h2>You got these questions correct:</h2>';
html += buildList(correct);
html += '<h2>You got these questions wrong:</h2>';
html += buildList(wrong);
print(html);

Treehouse TeacherHI Jesse Fister
The problem is with this function:
function buildList(arr) {
var listHTML = '<ol>';
for (var i = 0; i <arr.length; i +=1) {
listHTML += '<li>' + arr[i] + '<li>';
}
listHTML += '</ol>';
return listHTML;
There is a missing closing bracket -- } -- at the end of the function. It should be this:
function buildList(arr) {
var listHTML = '<ol>';
for (var i = 0; i <arr.length; i +=1) {
listHTML += '<li>' + arr[i] + '<li>';
}
listHTML += '</ol>';
return listHTML;
}

11,420 PointsI'm not sure if it's a copied text issue but the formatting here is messed up:
for (var i = 0; i ' + arr[i] + '
'; }
I'm guessing it should be something like this?
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
listHTML += arr[i] + "\n";
}

11,968 PointsThanks Dave! Also, I'll be sure to add the code with the three back ticks moving forward when posting to the forum.

Treehouse TeacherHey Jesse Fister
To put code into a forum post use triple back ticks -- ``` — around the code. I fixed your code here, but in the future here's a forum discussion that describes how to add HTML, CSS, JavaScript or other code to the forum: https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/posting-code-to-the-forum
