If the user answered 1, 3 or 4: "Sorry. The correct answer was 'the ocean blue'!" ///////////////////////////////////////////// the second time theprogram is run it would look like this In Fourteen Hundred Ninety-Two, Columbus sailed ____________. 1) in a canoe 2) to Timbuktu 3) a kangaroo 4) the ocean blue /////////////////////////////////////////////
typedef struct
{
char chquestion[255];
} question;
question List[] =
{
// thes are not the questions just trying to prototype the program
{"what is 2+2","4","b" ,"c" ,"d"},
{"what is 2+6","8","b" ,"c" ,"d"},
{"what is 2+8","10","b" ,"c" ,"d"},
{"what is 2+10","12","b" ,"c" ,"d"},
{"what is 2+12","14","b" ,"c" ,"d"},
{"what is 2+16","18","b" ,"c" ,"d"},
{"what is 2+18","20","b" ,"c" ,"d"},
{"what is 2+20","22","b" ,"c" ,"d"},
{"what is 2+22","24","b" ,"c" ,"d"},
{"what is 2+26","28","b" ,"c" ,"d"},

you could generate a list using rand, checking that each element does not appear more than once.

umm ggenerate a list of answers???
i am not understanding exactly what u mean..................

((the list[] in my code is the questions with the answers.)just wanted to point that out);

but here is the whole story i am beta testing an assignment for a site........... and this is what he wants me to do

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

You will present the user with a series of ten multiple choice questions, each with one correct answer and three incorrect ones.

For each question, the user will select their answer from a menu. You will tell them if they guessed correctly, or what the correct answer was if they guessed wrong.

After all the questions have been asked, tally up their score, and praise or insult their performance (as appropriate).

Now, you don't want to make it too easy for them. So, let's randomize what order the questions are asked in. And, within each question, let's also randomize the order of answers listed (keeping in mind that this also affects which answer is counted as correct).

You should be able to complete this assignment after working through the "structures" and "functions" lectures...

option 1:
int rightanswer;

if its 1 then answera is the right answer, if its 2 then answerb is the right, etc.
option 2:
if you do the list randomally, then you can do the first answer always the right answer. anyway the computer will re-set the list order.

generating a list = to do that the computer will create a list automatically (use rand() and srand() to generate randomally)
