True or false quiz program

[versE91]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
Trying to create a true or false quiz


What is the problem you are having?
Doesn't display 1/5, 2/5, 3/5 and 4/5 in percentage. It only tells you if you got perfect or if you failed the quiz entirely. If you don't understand what I am saying, run the file.


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
Haven't tried anything yet


Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)
I will post the file.

div performs integer division, meaning the result is truncated at the decimal point (so 4.6 becomes 4 and -3.9 becomes -3).

The division operator / performs real division and returns a real number.

Note that since you want a percentage you can do what you want with div, just make sure you multiply by 100 before dividing (that way you don't lose any information from the truncation)

Ok fixed it, works like a charm now. Out of curiosity, is there a way I could create this program with fewer lines?

There's absolutely a way to reduce the number of lines. You can move all of the questions to a separate text file and write a single procedure that takes the question and answer as input which prompts for an answer, checks it, outputs a message, and updates the score. Put that in a loop and you can add as many questions as you can think of without changing a single line of code.

You don't need to type out the same

code:

case answer of     label "t", "T" :         put "That is correct"         counter += 1     label "F", "f" :         put "That is incorrect" end case

part over and over again.

code:

loop   display question   collect answer   score answer repeat loop

The logic doesn't care what the question is -- it's just data. You are already almost there, by storing all the questions in an array

code:

questions (2) := "Carrots are good for your eyesight."

Which, coincidentally, is not true, depending on the interpretation of the question -- http://www.snopes.com/food/ingredient/carrots.asp

Well, with out using file statements you can still reduce lines, by using a for statements. I'd like to recommend looking at what people "might" input, for example, if someone starts using y/n for some odd reason, the program would just fail out.

Also using a loop and clever thinking you could make this repeatable, and possibly random questions!. A fun experience.
