Overview of the Challenge

Specifics

* The data file. The format of the data file is as follows:

First line is the number of questions in the file

For each question: The first line of text is the question. The next four lines of text are the multiple choice options. The last line for the question is a number (1 through 4) indicated which of the multiple choices is correct

Tasks * Get the name of the file from the user * Ask all the questions getting the user's answers (storing their choices) * Score the quiz * Report the result

Necessary components. Besides the list below there are other items that will be necessary to get the program to work. However the ones listed below must be found in your program or you will lose points

A method that asks all questions and return all answers given by the user

At least two additional methods

Optional improvements
Any/all of these can be added to your program for extra credit. But do not attempt them until your program (including the write up) is complete and receiving at least a 90%. Extra credit will only be given to those programs that receive at least a 90% on all the required work. It is much more important to do the required work well than to do the extra credit. Typically, extra credit work is also done on your own with limited (typically no) help from the instructor. The options are listed in order of importance. While you may implement any/all in any order, the order listed will focus you on the more important items first

Have the questions be a class. This is an important skill to have and would be a requirement for the program except for the limited time to implement it.

Have the multiple choices (and/or questions) be given in random order

Allow the user to take the quiz multiple times until a certain level of success is reached

Have the file be specified at the command line
