My script is not running when pressing Preview

So it looks like after adding the buildList function the script is not longer firing. Here is the link to my code : https://w.trhou.se/z8aufban8r Also if I comment the buildList section, it works.

I am very confused, the code looks the same as in the video. Can anyone take a look? Ty.

Hi there! No it's not. And I've found the problems. There are two.

First, and foremost, your Javascript is not linked correctly in your html file.

You have written:

<script src="/js/quiz.js"></script>

That should be:

<script src="js/quiz.js"></script>

Secondly, there's an error in your for loop in your Javascript file on line 20. You've written:

for (x = 0, x < arr.length, x += 1)

Those should be semicolons, not commas:

for (x = 0; x < arr.length; x += 1)

When I make these changes, and refresh the browser your code runs! Hope this helps! :sparkles:

On first glance I noticed this:

 if (response === answer) {

Should be ==

Try that & report back :)

Thank you for your replies, fortunately I have discovered it afterwards, like Jennifer says , the problem were the missing semicolons in the for loop arguments. Thank you again..
