4,512 PointsLooks like it prints the code instead of the correct content
// Define Variables //
var quizContent =
[
["What day of the month were you born?", "13"],
["In what month were you born?", "April"],
["Where were you born?", "Memphis"],
["Where did you grow up?", "Birmingham"],
["Where did you go to college?", "Auburn"]
];
var questions;
var answers;
var userResponse;
var userScore = 0;
var rightAnswers = [];
var wrongAnswers = [];
var html;
// Define print function (reused from last project)//
function print(message) {
var outputDiv = document.getElementById('output');
outputDiv.innerHTML = message;
}
// Function to begin to build content on page of which questions were right and wrong //
function pageContent(x) {
var writeHTMLtoPage = '<ol>';
for (var i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
writeHTMLtoPage += '<li>' + x[i] + '</li>';
}
writeHTMLtoPage += '</ol>';
return writeHTMLtoPage;
}
//Turn for loop into function //
// Begin for loop that runs through each item of "quizContent" //
function runTheQuiz(thisQuiz) {
for (var i = 0; i < thisQuiz.length; i++) {
questions = thisQuiz[i][0]; // define questions as the first position of 2D array
answers = thisQuiz[i][1]; // define answers as the second position of 2D array
userResponse = prompt(questions);
if (userResponse === answers) {
userScore += 1;
rightAnswers.push(thisQuiz[i][0]); // if correct, add question item to correctAnswers array //
}
else {
wrongAnswers.push(thisQuiz[i][0]); // if wrong, add question item to wrongAnswers array //
}
}
}
runTheQuiz(quizContent);
html = "You got " + userScore + " out of 5 questions correct.";
html += '<h2>You got these questions correct:</h2>';
html += pageContent(rightAnswers);
html += '<h2>You got these questions incorrect:</h2>';
html += pageContent(wrongAnswers);
print(pageContent);
It prints this to the page, I have gone over the code for two hours and can't figure it out:
function pageContent(x) { var writeHTMLtoPage = ' '; for (var i = 0; i < x.length; i++) { writeHTMLtoPage += ' ' + x[i] + ' '; } writeHTMLtoPage += ' '; return writeHTMLtoPage; }

4,512 PointsSorry, I figured it out right after I posted. The last line should say:
print(html);
instead of
print(pageContent);
