HTML +=

I can see dave adding the follwing:

html = "You got " + correctAnswers + " question(s) right.";
html += "<h2>You got these question correct: </h2>";
html += buildlist(correct);
html += "<h2>You got these question wrong: </h2>";
html += buildlist(wrong);

Is this the only way to write it? Thanks

Multiline strings in JS can be kind of messy, using the method the instructor suggests makes it a bit easier to read.

You could write it like this...

html = "You got " + correctAnswers + " question(s) right." +
           "<h2>You got these question correct: </h2>" +
           buildlist(correct) +
           "<h2>You got these question wrong: </h2>" +
           buildlist(wrong);

But as Ryan said, it just looks more messy and is harder to read.
