Prahlad, I have cleaned up your code, and using the Markdown Cheatsheet link, was able to post it here so you can view it.
I am unable to test it at this point in time; however - some things to note, for your future reference:
- you had correctAnswers declared twice
- your for loop syntax was incorrect; instead of "i+=1", it should be "i++".
- use double quotes, not single, when handling strings
- your opening tag for the unordered list was incorrect. It was "ol", but should be "<ol>"
- since you have two for loops within the same scope, I took the liberty of using "j" instead of "i" for your second one
- I put in the "use strict" pragma inside your function calls and hopefully that will generate a more verbose response in the error handling process that can help you assess what to fix next
Keep at it, you will get it!
