For example if the user gets the question right, it adds 10 points to the score. My codes so far is: %question 1 colour (blue) var answer: string var score : real put "What is the answer to 92+5?" put "a) 92" put "b) 96" put "c) 97" put "d) 69" put "e) 5" put "Enter the letter that is the correct answer." get answer if answer = "a" then put "Try again!" elsif answer = "b" then put "Incorrect!" elsif answer = "c" then put "You are right!" elsif answer = "d" then put "Wrong answer!" elsif answer = "e" then put "Your answer is wrong!" else put "That is an invalid answer please enter either a, b, c, d, or e." end if % Question 2 colour (blue) var answer2: string put "What is the answer to 9 x 8?" put "a) 81" put "b) 72" put "c) 64" put "d) 70" put "e) 88" put "Enter the letter that is the correct answer." get answer2 if answer2 = "a" then put "Try again!" elsif answer2 = "b" then put "You are right!" elsif answer2 = "c" then put "You are wrong!" elsif answer2 = "d" then put "Wrong answer!" elsif answer2 = "e" then put "Your answer is wrong!" else put "That is an invalid answer please enter either a, b, c, d, or e." end if I also need to incorporate a loop in to the assignment, how should i do that?

To add a loop, you could make an option to retake the quiz. ----------------------------------- Raknarg Sat Oct 19, 2013 11:58 am RE:How to keep score in a quiz on turing? ----------------------------------- if answerIsCorrect () then score := score + 10 % or score += 1 end if ----------------------------------- hgrad98 Mon Oct 28, 2013 8:00 pm RE:How to keep score in a quiz on turing? ----------------------------------- [syntax="turing"] var score : int var score := 0 if answer = correct then ----------------------------------- hgrad98 Mon Oct 28, 2013 8:04 pm RE:How to keep score in a quiz on turing? ----------------------------------- var score : int score := 0 if answer = "correct" then put "You are correct!" score := score + 1 end if if answer = "wrong" then put "You are incorrect!" score := score + 0 end if ... and so on put "your total is: ", score you're welcome ----------------------------------- hgrad98 Mon Oct 28, 2013 8:05 pm RE:How to keep score in a quiz on turing? ----------------------------------- sorry about the double post my computer went stupid and replied it while i was typing ----------------------------------- Zren Mon Oct 28, 2013 8:45 pm RE:How to keep score in a quiz on turing? ----------------------------------- You should be using an else statement for the section where you're "wrong". Otherwise you're implying there are 4 different states rather than just 2. ----------------------------------- hgrad98 Tue Oct 29, 2013 4:43 pm RE:How to keep score in a quiz on turing? ----------------------------------- it doesn't really matter though. it doesn't change it ----------------------------------- hgrad98 Tue Oct 29, 2013 4:49 pm RE:How to keep score in a quiz on turing? ----------------------------------- and i meant + 10 not + 1 ----------------------------------- kim1590 Sat Nov 24, 2018 12:08 pm Re: How to keep score in a quiz on turing? ----------------------------------- i also need help i have a similar code but when the user gets the wrong answer once they get a second chance but for some reason after their second chance when they get it right it repeats the question MY CODE: loop %kim farni %variables var number1 : int var number2 : int var number3 : int var number4 : int var number5 : int var number6 : int var number7 : int var number8 : int var number9 : int var score : int score := 0 var numberoftries : int numberoftries := 0 var guess : int %setting ranges for variables randint (number6, 10, 15) randint (number7, 10, 15) randint (number8, 10, 15) randint (number9, 10, 15) %prints the question on screen put "your score is ", score put "you have tried ", numberoftries.. put " times" put "what is the answer to the following quetion?" put number6 .. put " x " .. put number7 %setting ranges for variables randint (number1, 1, 3) randint (number2, 4, 5) randint (number3, 6, 7) randint (number4, 8, 9) randint (number5, 10, 11) %prints on screen choices put " a) " .. put number1 put " b) " .. put number6 * number7 put " c) " .. put number3 put " d) " .. put number4 put " e) " .. put number5 get guess %gives users a chance to put in their guess %if the users puts the right answer then it says correct if guess = number6 * number7 then put "correct! the answer was ", number6 * number7 score := score + 1 numberoftries := numberoftries + 1 put "your score is ", score put "you have tried ", numberoftries.. put " times" end if %if the user puts in a bigger number than the answer then it shows incorrect and puts another story if guess > number6 * number7 then score := score + 0 numberoftries := numberoftries +1 put "you have tried ", numberoftries.. put " times" put "incorrect your score is now ", score put "the answer was ", number6 * number7 .. put " try again!" put number8 .. put " x " .. put number9 put " a) " .. put number4 put " b) " .. put number8 * number9 put " c) " .. put number1 put " d) " .. put number3 put " e) " .. put number5 get guess elsif guess < number6 * number7 then score := score + 0 numberoftries := numberoftries +1 put "you have tried ", numberoftries.. put " times" put "incorrect your score is now ", score put "the answer was ", number6 * number7 .. put " try again!" put number8 .. put " x " .. put number9 put " a) " .. put number4 put " b) " .. put number8 * number9 put " c) " .. put number1 put " d) " .. put number3 put " e) " .. put number5 get guess end if exit when guess = number6 * number7 end loop %put "your total is: ", score ----------------------------------- Insectoid Mon Nov 26, 2018 1:55 pm RE:How to keep score in a quiz on turing? ----------------------------------- What happens if you give the wrong answer for the 1st question, then for the 2nd question give the correct answer for the 1st question? Ie >What is 2x3? 4 >Wrong, what is 4x7? 6 What will the program do here? What is it supposed to do?
