My solution using for loops

I used the workspace to test this code and it was very frustrating because it doesn't throw errors. So, I had to use another editor for the challenge.

var questions = ["What is the state capitol of California?", 
                 "Are earthquakes or hurricanes more common in Florida?", 
                 "What is state bird of Georgia?", 
                 "What is the last name of the president?", 
                 "What is the state capitol of Florida?"];
var answers = ["SACREMENTO",
               "HURRICANES", 
               "THRASHER", 
               "TRUMP", 
               "TALLAHASSEE"];
var correctAnswers = 0;
var finalMessage = "You answered "+correctAnswers+"questions correctly";

for(i = 0; i < questions.length; i++){
  var x = prompt(questions[i]);  

  if( x.toUpperCase() === answers[i]){
    correctAnswers++;
    alert("You are correct");
  }
  else{
    alert("You are incorrect");
  }
} 

if ( correctAnswers === 5 ) {
  document.write("<p><strong>You earned a gold crown!</strong></p>");  
} else if (correctAnswers >= 3) {
  document.write("<p><strong>You earned a silver crown.</strong></p>");  
} else if (correctAnswers >= 2) {
  document.write("<p><strong>You earned a bronze crown.</strong></p>");  
} else {
  document.write("<p><strong>No crown for you. You need to study.</strong></p>");
}```
