Help with my survey program!

[mrtorelli]

Hey, I need some help with my current survey program. If anyone has any ideas on how to make it really good so I can get a really good mark.

Below is what i have so far.
Thanks!
Stefan

code:

var userchoice:string var score:=0 %First Question loop put "What Year Did The September 11th Attacks Occur On?" put "a) 2000" put "b) 2001" put "c) 2002" put "d) 2003" get userchoice if userchoice = "a" or userchoice = "A" then score:= score - 1 put "Sorry, that is incorrect, Your Current Score is ", score exit elsif userchoice = "b" or userchoice = "B" then score:= score + 1 put "Yes, you are correct, Your Current Score is " , score exit elsif userchoice = "c" or userchoice = "C" then put "Sorry, that is incorrect, Your Current Score is ", score exit elsif userchoice = "d" or userchoice = "D" then put "Sorry, that is incorrect, Your Current Score is ", score exit else put "Entry is invalid, try again" end if end loop %End Of First Question %Second Question loop put "What Is The Ice Cubes Real Name?" put "a) Jajuan" put "b) Tywan" put "c) O'Shea Jackson" put "d) Dameane" get userchoice if userchoice = "a" or userchoice = "A" then score:= score - 1 put "Sorry, that is incorrect, Your Current Score is ", score exit elsif userchoice = "b" or userchoice = "B" then put "Sorry, that is incorrect, Your Current Score is ", score exit elsif userchoice = "c" or userchoice = "C" then score:= score + 1 put "Yes, you are correct, Your Current Score is " , score exit elsif userchoice = "d" or userchoice = "D" then put "Sorry, that is incorrect, Your Current Score is ", score exit else put "Entry is invalid, try again" end if end loop %End Of Second Question

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.

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"

code:

if userchoice = "a" then put "That is correct" else put "That is incorrect"

Also, why are you looping each question? Just loop the entire program and make the survey (also this is not a survey. this is a multiple choice program. survey involves yes or no or explain questions) record data from multiple users.

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.
