How to generate random questions and corresponding answers for quiz game?-CodePudding

I'm making a quiz game and i want questions to be randomly generated. The problem is i dont know how to make corresponding answers to questions and how to make them not to repeat. Also problem is that i get columns by index in in the answers

questions = [("Was Einshtein a genius?", "B"), ("How old is Putin?", "C"), ("What is my favourite dish?", "D"),
 ("Why i broke up with my girl?", "A" )]

 answers =   [["A. He is a fool", "B. Definetly", "C. He's stupid", "D. He's a gay"],
  ["A. 65", "B. 48", "C. 69", "D. 61"],
  ["A. Pizza", "B. KFC Chicken", "C. Big tasty", "D. Lazania"],
  ["A. She cheated on me", "B. She stole my phone", "C. She broke my phone", "D. She broke ,y heart"]]

ques_ran = random.randint(0,3)
for i in questions:
    print(questions[ques_ran])
    for key in answers:
        print(key[ques_ran])
    b = input('Enter an asnwer ')

I expect that each of these four questions with corresponding answers will display randomly and they won't repeat(there should be all 4 present questions with answers displaying for 4 iterations, one question on one iteration)

Trying to keep multiple lists "in sync" always makes things more complicated. Things will be easier if you combine the question, possible answers, and correct answer into a class, then put instances of that class into a single list.

Then you can use random.shuffle or random.sample to randomize your list of questions while avoiding duplicates.

CodePudding user response：

Build a list that contains both the questions and answers. There are lots of better ways to do this, but a quick fix given your current separate lists is to just zip them together. Then you can use random.choice to select a single question/answer pair, or random.shuffle to iterate through all of them in random order, etc.

q, a = random.choice(list(zip(questions, answers)))
print(q[0])
print(a)
if input() == q[1]:
    print("Correct!")
else:
    print("Wrong!")

CodePudding user response：

A possible implementation, if you want to ask all questions in a random order without repeats, could be to list all indices and shuffle them:

import random
order = list(range(len(questions)))
random.shuffle(order)

for i in order:
    print(questions[i][0])
    print('\n'.join(answers[i]))
    ans = input('answer: ')
    print('correct' if ans == questions[i][1] else 'incorrect')

NB. I would probably use a different logic to store the data though. Probably a single container with question, choices, correct answer.
