I'm creating a quiz app. It's my questions array. But if the users look to the source, they see answer of all questions.

How can i fix that? How to hide datas in the array. İf you help me i will be glad.

Serverside validation? E.g. sending the question to the client with answers identified by IDs and sending your answer to the server. This way the answers cannot be viewed by your users at all. — Simon

You can't hide what's loaded in the browser from the developer console. Your options are:

Obfuscate the answers data. E.g. encode it. But this is still reversible.
Don't load the answers data into the browser until after the user submits an answer. This will require an additional request to the server to fetch the answers.
Don't load the answers data into the browser at all, instead send the user's answers to the server and let the server respond with their score. Again, this requires an additional request to the server.
