After selecting the correct option, (i.e. when ans[i]=selected) the length of user_ans is of course not 0. Then why does the messagebox return score as 0 everytime? I am unable to figure out if I have made any mistake. Basically this is a quiz application. Score of the user is 10 times the number of correct answers.

CodePudding user response：

First, please provide a reproducible code sample next time. There are a lot of logic errors in your script. First you calculate your score in the beginning when you run the play function. At that point your list user_ans is still empty. If you move your score calculation into the nxt function, you end up with different issues, for example your score can go into infinity when someone keeps clicking the right answer over and over. So you should evaluate the user selection only once the user clicks next.

Here is some rearrangement. Still this is not ideal, but you can work from there.
