First complete C++ program (simple)
Author
I just began teaching myself c++ a few days ago. I decided to use what I have learned so far to create a quiz game to help me study for finals. Its a pretty simple program but its effective.
At least use stricmp to allow for capitalistaion. Consider using synonyms as well, put them in a std::map or something. 80s pop should be allowed as well as eightiespop, for example.
You should also keep score, number of correct answers and so on.
EDIT: Also use std::string rather than fixed size buffers for input. That's just asking for trouble and totally unnecessary when using console input in C++.

In addition to the above, consider next learning about structures and aggregate data storage and create a structure representing a question and answer (or answer). This will vastly reduce the amount of repetition in your code.
Following that, learn about file IO and put your questions and answers in text files, then load them at runtime.
