I am trying to make the feedback from the two functions, correct[] and wrong[], show up as the user answers the questions. I added the jQuery ready function to attempt to make everything I want appear before the prompts but without success. I have written the ready function into my code several times with no luck. Can anybody help?

//Question array
var question = ["1. What is 1+1?",
"2. What is 2+2?",
"3. What is 3+3?",
"4. What is 4+4?",
"5. What is 5+5?"
];
//Other Variables
var qlength = question.length;
var counter = 0;
var answer = ["2", "4", "6", "8", "10"];
//First box to tell the viewer whats going on
alert('Answer the following 5 questions to determine if you are 1st grade smart.');
//Loop that asks the questions
for (var i = 0; i < qlength; i++)
{
var userAnswer = prompt(question[i]); //Stores the answer to each question in userAnswer
//Actions for correct answer
if (userAnswer == answer[i])
{
alert('Correct');
correct(i);
var counter = counter + 1; //Adds one to the counter for correct answers
}
//Actions for wrong answer
else
{
alert('Wrong');
wrong(i);
}
}
//Functions
function correct(i)
{
document.write(i + 1, ". Correct" + "<br>");
}
function wrong(i)
{
document.write(i + 1, ". Wrong, correct answer = ", answer[i], "<br>");
}
//Calculates the results based on the counter
document.write("<br>You got " + counter + " answers out of 5 correct.");
</script>

</html>NEVER use document.write after load. It wipes the page and scripts. Instead update a tag - here I use the jQuery you already use to append the answers
// These needed to be and STAY global
