62 PointsHow do I get "your answer" to show up when a user answers a question. Your answer: Correct answer:
I can get the "correct answer to show up but not sure how to get the "your answer" response. I am trying to compare the user answer to the correct answer. This is what I have. I think I just need to know how to define response.
for (let i = 0; i < questions.length; i += 1) { question = questions[i][0]; answer = questions[i][1];
console.log(input.question(question));
if (response === answer) {
console.log(Your Answer: ${response}, \n Correct Answer: ${answer});
} else {
console.log(Your Answer: ${response}, \n Correct Answer: ${answer});
}
}

Great job so far. I’ll touch on just a few things.
One. It looks like maybe you have some experience with a different language, because you’re using the word input, but it looks to me that you’re intending to use the prompt keyword.
Where you’ve written console.log(input.question(question)), I don’t believe you need to log anything to the console at that point (depending on what you’re going for). What I would suggest would be for you to display the question (defined in the question variable) to the user usingprompt(question)`. The prompt method is a built-in method that returns a string, and so you can store the returned string in a variable response that you would declare.
Two. In order for your string interpolation to work properly you’ll need to wrap the string in back tics “`”.
Three. The way your code is currently written, you do not need an if...else statement, because the same code is run regardless of whether response === answer or not.
Hope this helps. If not, let me know.

62 PointsThanks Brandon. I was able to figure it out but I appreciate the input. Now I am trying to show results. I have 5 questions and I need to be able to calculate the % correct. I think I just need to step away but I am having a difficult time trying to get that calculated.
