I am supposed to make this simple program. It produces a multiplication problem, and when the user types the correct answer, it is supposed to produce another question. Instead it goes into an infinite loop and never stops, the answer field and the button go away. Also, I am supposed to make the comment about the users answer, one of 4 different sayings. Without using Arrays how would I do that?
My professor is no help, really getting aggravated as I have no where else to turn.

document.writeln("How much is " + number1 + " times " + number2 + " ?");
answer2 = (number1 * number2);
