JavaScript JavaScript Loops, Arrays and Objects Tracking Multiple Items with Arrays Build a Quiz Challenge, Part 1 Solution

Different solution

I solved this challenge in a slightly different way.I was wondering if I can get some feedback on my solution?

let correctAnswers = 0;
let questionAnswer = [
  ['Capital of Australia','Canberra'],
  ['Number of states in the United States','50'],
  ['How many colors in the rainbow','7']
];

let answerOne = prompt(questionAnswer[0][0]);
let answerTwo = prompt(questionAnswer[1][0]);
let answerThree = prompt(questionAnswer[2][0]);

let userAnswer = [answerOne, answerTwo, answerThree];

for(let i = 0; i <= 2; i+= 1) {
if ( userAnswer [i] === questionAnswer[i][1]) {
  correctAnswers += 1;
}
else {
  correctAnswers = correctAnswers;
}
}

var html = '<p>' + 'You got ' + correctAnswers + ' question(s) right.' + '</p>' 

document.write(html);

function print(message) {
  document.write(message);
}

Suggestions and observations:

  • you could ask the questions as part of the loop instead of with separate statements
  • the loop limit could be the length of the questions array instead of an explicit number
  • the code body of a loop can be indented to indicate nesting level
  • assigning a value to itself has no effect, so the entire "else" can be eliminated
  • the "print" function was defined but never used

Steven Parker Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and suggestions.The print function was there by default. I couldn't figure out what is the purpose of this function?

I believe in the video it is used as a replacement for "document.write" in the main code area.

Steven Parker That's true.Thanks.
