  1. POHow can I keep track of correct answers using javascript?
    text
    copied!<p>I have a simple Javascript Math program. It lets you answer equations and when it checks your answer it alerts whether you answered correctly or wrongly.</p> <p>Here is the code for addition:</p> <pre><code>function randomAdd() { var x=document.getElementById("AddN1"); x.value=Math.floor((Math.random()*12)+1); var y=document.getElementById("AddN2"); y.value=Math.floor((Math.random()*12)+1); } function checkAdd() { var z=document.getElementById("AddA2"); z.value= parseInt(document.getElementById("AddN1").value) + parseInt(document.getElementById("AddN2").value); if(parseInt(document.getElementById("AddA1").value)==z.value) { score=score+1; alert("Addition: Correct"); } else { alert("Addition: Incorrect"); } } &lt;form name="Addition"&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th&gt;Addition&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th&gt;Number 1&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Number 2&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Type Your Answer&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Correct Answer&lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="text" name="AddN1" id="AddN1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;+&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="text" name="AddN2" id="AddN2"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;=&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="text" name="AddA1" id="AddA1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="text" name="AddA2" id="AddA2"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="button" value="Get Numbers" onclick="randomAdd();"&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="button" value="Check Answer" onclick="checkAdd();"&gt; &lt;th&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>The code was provided to me by my college. I would like to keep a simple counter that will count all the correct answers the user gets and also a reset button that would reset the counter back to zero?</p> <p>Sorry if this sounds really basic but I have no experience with Javascript.</p> <p>Thanks.</p>
