How can I loop my quiz answers to get a final score

So far I have declared the canidates name, canidates response, correct response, and created an input.question for questions 1-5. Now i am wanting to loop the answerKey to give a percentage result, but I am not sure how to make the system read the correct answers as numbers instead of strings. I want my final output to be let score='';
and have it read a percentage for the overall grade of the quiz. Can someone help me out with this?

You can add a score variable at the top. Every time the candidate answers a question, you can use an if statement to check if the answer given is the same as the actual answer, if it is you can add 1 to score. Then at the end you can do score/<number of questions> to get the percentage.


let score = 0;
// question 1
// ....
// ....
if (answer1 === candidateans1) {
    score++;
}
// other questions...
// ...
// ...

console.log("Score: " + (score/5) + "%");

Thank you!

No problem! Could you mark my answer as correct? Thanks!
