6,357 PointsWhy does my code stop when i enter the right question?
When i enter 'Carlos' for the first question, it just stops after that. carlos is the right answer. This is my code :
const score = 0; var questions = [ ['What is my name?', 'carlos'], ['What is the sate where the golden gate bridge is located?', 'california'] ] for (let i = 0; i < questions.length; i++) { let question = questions[i][0]; let answer = questions[i][1]; let userAnswer = prompt(question);
if (userAnswer === answer) {
score++;
}
}
var msg = alert(You got ${score} correct);

To allow it to be changed, create "score" with 'let" or "var" instead of "const".
