Hello, i am talking about a quiz app. In my app i have used only store variable. there are several types of quiz (quiz 1, quiz 2, such…). Only quiz 1 is initially enabled ( others are disabled) , for each correct answer my stored variable increases vale by 1. And if someone get 25 then quiz 2 will be enabled. so far this is working fine but the problem is when i am entering quiz 1 again it is erasing my previous stored value and quiz 2 being disabled if the score is under 25.

Now what i need to compare previous value with current value and keep the highest value between them. Any solution?

Thanks

You need to store the score in non volatile memory.

Like so:

i.e. you specify “stored” instead of “app”.
