document.write and .innerHTML

Question

I have a piece of code.... Here is a small part of it:

//(When they press the button, this code will start)
var out = document.getElementById("ans");
for (var i = 0; i < input; i++) {
var num = parseInt(Math.random() * 100);
if (num > 78){
var output = char[0];
}else{
var output = char[num];
}
out.innerHTML = output;
//document.write(output);
//You dont need to worry too much about the top code, just the output

Ok, now this will produce lets say... 8 characters (S45#...)
Now whenever I say document.write, it will give me all the characters, but on a new page... so i decided to make a <p></p> on the html file and give it an id called "ans"... Now i tried using out.innerHTML = output; to try and get it to paste in that paragraph, but it only gives me 1 character instead of 8... How do i get it to paste all 8 characters there?

Answer 1

Another way to think about this:
If I have a string and I want to append to it, what operation should I use?

var s="Existing string content";
s = ...

Answer 2

It's only appending one character because it only contains one character 🤔
