3,074 PointsCan I print the result of the buildList() function directly, without saving it to a variable?
I have tried to:
print( buildList(correct) );
Where 'buildList()' is the function used to create the HTML for the list, and 'correct' is the array with the correct questions. But nothing prints to the page.
If I do as in the video and save everything to the html variable, and then print that variable, it works.
Can someone explain me why?

I think that depends on where you're running your code at. If you're running it on workspace console (that's is while tackling the course's tests at treehouse), there's probably nothing off with your code.
Else, if you're running it on chrome's console or your terminal (if you have node installed), then there could be something wrong with your code. In this case I would assume, that the first scenario is at play ... If it's the case, don't sweat it, the test has been programmed to accept the code that passes.
I hope this helps ... Regards.
