PYTHON:

In this programming exercise, you will create a simple trivia game for two players. The program will work like this:

Starting with player 1, each player gets a turn at answering 5 trivia questions. (There should be a total of 10 questions.) When a question is displayed, 4 possible answers are also displayed. Only one of the answers is correct, and if the player selects the correct answer, he or she earns a point.

After answers have been selected for all the questions, the program displays the number of points earned by each player and declares the player with the highest number of points the winner.

To create this program, write a Question class to hold the data for the trivia question. The question class should have attributes for the following data:

A trivia question

Possible answer 1

Possible answer 2

Possible answer 3

Possible answer 4

The number of the correct answer (1, 2, 3, or 4)

The Question class should also have an appropriate __init__ method, accessors, and mutators.

The program should have a list or a dictionary containing 10 Question Objects, one for each trivia question. Make up your own trivia question on the subject or subjects of your choice for the objects.

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

code:

class Question: #class definition

def __init__(self,q,op1,op2,op3,op4,ans): #constructor with parameters, q- the question, op- the options and ans the correct answer no.

self.q=q

self.op1=op1

self.op2=op2

self.op3=op3

self.op4=op4

self.ans=ans

def showQuestion(self):

print(self.q) #display the question

print("1.{0} 2.{1} 3.{2} 4.{3}".format(self.op1,self.op2,self.op3,self.op4))#display the options

def showResult(self,a): #show whether the answer chosen by the user is correct or not.

if a==self.ans:

result=1

print("Correct!")

else:

result=0

print("Incorrect. The correct answer is : ",self.ans)

return result #this return value will be added to the user's score
