How to create a quiz using Python Programming language

There is a structure to when you write code.

We first lists the steps, then we write the code.

Let us look at the structure for when you create a Quiz

Let us look at the structure of the file first.

The basic layout of the quiz

1.User input basic information and save them in file

2.User choose topic to test

3.Start test

4. Get results

Part 1

Input the basic information

Read the input information

save in the file

We can define 2 functions at this point

def read_user_info():

userInfo = input(Enter your name:")

Add some rules here

write_file(filename, content)

def write_file(filename, content):

with open(filename, "a+") as f:

f.write(content)

User choose topic to test

Start test

Here is we need Merge our topics maths() and history() computing()

The structure of those two functions:

1.open file

#maths

with open("maths.txt","r") as topic1:

...

#history

with open("history.txt","r") as topic2:

...

2.user choose difficulty level

#maths

difficultyLevel = input("Please select a difficulty \

level for the  maths quiz:easy, medium or hard:")

...

#history

difficultyLevel = input("Please select a difficulty \

level for the  history quiz:easy, medium or hard:")

...

3.user answer questions / recode score

#maths

if difficultyLevel == "Easy" or difficultyLevel == "easy": 

    for x in range(0,3):

        print(questionsForMaths[x].rstrip()) 

    userAnswer = input("Choose from the following:").lower()

    if userAnswer == questionsForMaths[1].rstrip():

        print ("correct")

        score = score + 1 

    else:

        print ("incorrect")

    ....

    (other 4 questions)

 ...

 (other difficulty level)

#history

if difficultyLevel == "Easy" or difficultyLevel == "easy":

   for y in range(0,3):

       print(questionsForHistory[y].rstrip()) 

   userAnswer2 = input("Choose from the following:")

   if userAnswer2 == questionsForHistory[2].rstrip():

       print("correct")

       score = score + 1

   else:

       print("incorrect")

   ....

   (other 4 questions)

...

(other difficulty level)

4.show result

print("Your total score is", score)

percentage = (score/5)*100

print("The percentage of questions correct is", percentage)

if percentage < 40.0:

...

Thus we can first split it to four functions

def open_file(filename):

...

def choose_difficult_level():

...

def answer_questions(topic,difficultyLevel):

...

def show_result(topic, score,fullUsername):

...
