RandomPerson1789

My script is not working (its html)
It is supposed to be a quiz game.
Here it is:

<html>
<head>
<script>
score = 0
alert(“Welcome to the quiz!”);
answer = prompt(“What is 1+1?”);
if answer==2 {
function cor();
} else {
alert(“Wrong!”);
}
answer = prompt(“What is 4X6?”);
if answer==24 {
function cor();
} else {
alert(“Wrong!”);
}
alert(“You got”, score, “out of 2 correct.”);
function cor() {
score = score + 1;
alert(“Correct!”);
}
</script>
</head>
</html>

Try this:

<html>
<head>
<script>
score = 0
alert("Welcome to the quiz!");
answer = prompt("What is 1+1?");
if (answer==2) {
cor();
} else {
alert("Wrong!");
}
answer = prompt("What is 4X6?");
if (answer==24) {
cor();
} else {
alert("Wrong!");
}
alert("You got " + score + " out of 2 correct.");
function cor() {
score = score + 1;
alert("Correct!");
}
</script>
</head>
</html>

You were using typographer's quotes (the curly ones) instead of straight ones, and you don't need to put “function” when you're calling a function - only when you're defining one. Also, use “+” to join strings, not commas.

if (answer==24) {

}
alert("You got " + score + " out of 2 correct.");
var cor = function() {
score = score + 1;
alert("Correct!");
}
</script>
</head>
</html>

This is djdolphin's, but improved.

Improved a bit more. Also, I did report the OP to be moved to Advanced Topics a while ago. Where's the ST? sorry I can't read. I fell kind of stupid now

Thanks! Helped a lot
