My function askQuestion() only loops thru the length of questions array and prompt (asks) questions of user (like the askForName() function but for an array) and does not print anything. My function gradeQuiz(candidateAnswers) - this brings in candidateAnswers - loops thru length of candidateAnswers array and prints 1) questions and answers 2) tests for (if) and counts (correct = correct +1) the correct answers plus…
Where your code: if (candidateAnswers[i].toLowerCase() === correctAnswers[i].toLowerCase()){ - is placed does not make sense to me as your candidateAnswers array is not filled up yet. Hope this helps - I’m new at this.

share your repl.it link so I can take a look at it.

I looked at you code and I want to encourage you to go and watch the videos on assignment 1 walk through. You need to refine your structure and those videos will help. You can find them in slack #javascript-helpful-videos.

Is there a way to start over. Still feeling lost. Like nothing from the beginning has sinked in. I didn’t do well on For Loops and it seems to be used alot
