Project: Quiz with a score

Project: Quiz with a score

• You build a quiz: it asks questions, checks the answers and gives a score.
• The questions and the answers live in two lists.
• You use a for loop, input(), if / else and a counter.

What you will build

2 + 2 = ?
4
Right!
Capital of France?
London
Wrong, it is Paris
Colour of the sky?
blue
Right!
Score: 2/3

Step 1: two lists that match

• questions[0] goes with answers[0], questions[1] with answers[1], and so on.
• range(len(questions)) gives the positions 0, 1, 2.
• So one loop can use the same position i in both lists.

names = ["Ann", "Ben"]
ages = [15, 16]
for i in range(len(names)):
    print(names[i], "is", ages[i])

Step 2: keep the score

• Start score = 0 before the loop.
• Add 1 inside the loop, only when the answer is right.
• Print the score after the loop, once.

Step 3: forgive the typing

• .strip() removes spaces at the start and the end: " paris ".strip() is "paris".
• .lower() makes everything small letters: "BLUE".lower() is "blue".
• Compare the cleaned reply with the answer in small letters.

Now build it

• Three steps. Run it and answer the questions yourself, then press Check answer.
• Want more? Add your own questions to both lists.
