We will start with the general HTML code and define the necessary metadata, such as the charset type and the title of your page.

Adding the Header Section

In the header section, you will add the title of your quiz. This could be a simple H1 tag, for example, "JavaScript Quiz". You should also add a paragraph with a short subtitle describing what this quiz is about.

Creating a Form for the Quiz

Now create the main form of the quiz. This should contain all the questions and input fields. Name this form, for example, quizform.

Button to Submit Answers

Add a submit button at the end of your form. Make sure this button has the type submit and triggers a function that processes the answers when clicked.
