Pretty sure I understand what error is happening here. So if you're calling the function print() without declaring it as a function specifically to print the message output to the page you are probably calling the vanilla window.print() function located here: https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_print.asp

This is not the same function that is declared in the video, and this video helps explain his method for declaring his own print(message) function: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-quiz-challenge-part-2

hope this helps, Dylan

If you'd paste the code (html and js), it would be easier.

Code Wrap your code with 3 backticks (```) on the line before and after. If you specify the language after the first set of backticks, that'll help us with syntax highlighting.

      ```html
      <p>This is code!</p>
      ```
