Using arrays of objects

I made a quiz using this method. It works great. I was trying to find a way to assign each question separate point values for a correct answer instead of just using a counter. I can't figure how to make that work. Can anyone help?

var questions = [
 {question: 'blahblah',  answer: 'blaahblaah', points: 3},
 ]

Maybe you could specify points for each question like above and when the question is answered correctly, you just access this points value.

something like this:

points += questions[i].points

Disclaimer: I did not test any of the code i wrote. If these ideas don't help you, please post your code and we will find a solution. I'm a beginner, too, so this is interesting to me. :)

I think use dictionary that you can manage individual variable point of each question.
