Project Description:

The purpose of this project is to develop a quiz game program (Grammar quiz)
that allows users to test their knowledge on a specific topic. The scope of the project
includes designing and implementing a user-friendly interface, creating a database of
questions and answers, and implementing the logic for presenting questions, accepting
user responses, and providing feedback on the correctness of the answers.

The objectives of the project are as follows:

1. User Interaction: Develop an intuitive and user-friendly interface that allows users to
navigate through the quiz, submit their answers, and receive feedback on their
performance.

2. Question Database: Create a structured database containing a wide range of

questions related to the chosen topic. The questions should cover various difficulty
levels and ensure that they are relevant and accurate.

3. Randomization: Implement a mechanism to randomize the selection of questions for

each quiz session. This ensures that users are presented with a different set of
questions every time they take the quiz, enhancing the user experience and preventing
predictability.

4. Answer Evaluation: Develop the logic to evaluate user responses and provide
immediate feedback on the correctness of the answers. The program should accurately
assess whether the provided answer matches the expected answer and display the
appropriate result to the user.

5. Scoring and Progress Tracking: Implement a scoring system that assigns points for
correct answers and keeps track of the user's progress throughout the quiz. Display the
final score at the end of the quiz, allowing users to gauge their performance and
improve their knowledge.

6. Code Maintainability: Ensure that the code is well-structured, modular, and adheres
to good programming practices. Utilize functions to enhance code readability and
maintainability, making it easier to debug, modify, and extend the program in the future.

By achieving these objectives, the project aims to provide an engaging and educational
quiz experience for users, allowing them to test their knowledge, learn new information,
and track their progress over time.
System requirements:

Hardware Requirements:

1. Processor: Intel Core i3 or equivalent (or higher recommended)

2. Memory (RAM): 4 GB (8 GB or more recommended)

3. Storage: At least 100 MB of free disk space

4. Display: Minimum screen resolution of 1280x720 pixels

Software Requirements:

1. Operating System: Windows 7 or later, macOS, or Linux

2. C++ Compiler: You will need a C++ compiler to compile and run the code. Popular
options include GCC (GNU Compiler Collection), Clang, and Microsoft Visual C++
Compiler.

3. Integrated Development Environment (IDE): While not mandatory, using an IDE can
provide a more convenient development environment. Examples of C++ IDEs include
Visual Studio, Code::Blocks, and Eclipse CDT.

4. Standard Template Library (STL): The C++ code may rely on the Standard Template
Library (STL) for various data structures and algorithms. The STL is typically included
with the C++ compiler.
Flow diagrams:
Algorithms:

1. Start the program.

2. Define the `welcomeMessage` function to display the welcome message and
instructions for the quiz.
3. Declare and initialize arrays for easy, medium, and hard quiz questions,
choices, and correct answers.
4. Define an enum `Difficulty` with values EASY, MEDIUM, and HARD.
5. Declare variables `level` of type `Difficulty` and `levelChoice` of type `char`.
6. Display a prompt to select the difficulty level and read the user's choice.
7. Use a while loop to validate the user's input and assign the appropriate
difficulty level based on the choice.
8. If the input is invalid, display an error message and continue to prompt for a
valid choice.
9. Break out of the loop when a valid choice is made.
10. Declare variables `questions`, `choices`, `correctAnswers`, and
`numQuestions` of appropriate types.
11. Use a switch statement based on the selected difficulty level to assign the
corresponding arrays and number of questions to the variables declared in the
previous step.
12. Declare variables `score` and `exitQuiz` and initialize them to 0 and false,
respectively.
13. Start a for loop to iterate through each question.
14. Display the current current question and choices.
15. Read the user's answer or option to exit.
16. If the user chooses to exit, set `exitQuiz` to true and break out of the loop.
17. Convert the user's answer to lowercase.
18. Compare the user's answerwihcorrc aswer.
19. If the answer is correct, increment the `score` and display a "Correct!"
message.
20. If the answer is incorrect, display an "Incorrect!" message and show the
correct answer.
21. Display an empty line for spacing.
22. After the loop, check if `exitQuiz` is false.
23. If `exitQuiz` is fse, dispayiz complnmessghe final score.
24. If `exitQuiz` is true, display a message indicating that the quiz was exited and
the progress was not recorded.
25. End the program.

Conclusion:
 We conclude that the grammar quiz project was successfully implemented using
C++. The program allowed users to test their grammar knowledge by answering a
series of questions with multiple-choice options. The project aimed to provide an
interactive and educational experience for users to improve their grammar skills.
Throughout the development process, several challenges were encountered.

One of the challenges was designing the user interface to be intuitive and user-
friendly. This involved presenting the questions, choices, and feedback in a clear and
organized manner. Additionally, validating user input and handling different scenarios,
such as allowing users to quit the quiz, posed implementation challenges.

However, through careful planning and problem-solving of my partner, these

challenges were overcome. The project provided an opportunity to practice and
enhance programming skills, particularly in the areas of user input handling, array
manipulation, conditional statements, and manipulating errors. The project also
reinforced the importance of testing and debugging. By thoroughly testing the program
and identifying and fixing any issues or errors, the final implementation became more
robust and reliable.

In terms of future improvements, additional features could be added to enhance

the user experience, such as a timer for each question or a scoring system with different
levels of achievements. Furthermore, expanding the question bank and incorporating
different difficulty levels would provide more comprehensive grammar practice. The
grammar quiz project was a valuable learning experience, combining programming
skills with educational content. It demonstrated the effectiveness of using code to create
interactive and engaging learning tools.
