Why would a survey have incorrect answers??? Please be more specific with what you want, there are many ways to make your program look good.

Quote: what albrecd is saying is that all you need is and "if" statement for the correct answer and for the incorrect ones, use a "else" That is not what I said at all! I was questioning how you could get the wrong answer on a survey. Anyway, instead of using "if userchoice = "b" or userchoice = "B" then" you could use the Str.Upper or Str.Lower commands to convert the answer to one case (provided you have a version of Turing that supports this) or create a function to do this yourself.

Wait let's get things clear first...surveys DO NOT have INNCORRECT answers...that's what Albrecd was trying to say. Second I prefer you change the title of your program from SURVEY to QUIZ. Hope that clarifies everything up.
