Question

the main problem i have with this project is getting the "trivia.txt" file to be printed and stream correctly into my program. thanks. this is for c++ thanks

In this programming challenge, you will create a simple trivia game for two players. The program will work like this: Starting with player 1, each player gets a turn at answering five trivia questions. (There are a total of 10 questions.) When a question is displayed, four possible answers are also displayed. Only one of the answers is correct, and if the player selects the correct answer, he or she earns a point. After answers have been selected for all of the questions, the program displays the number of points earned by each player and declares the player with the highest number of points the winner. The program must load the questions from a text file in to the array of 10 Question objects. In this program, you will design a Question class to hold the data for a trivia question. The Question class should have member variables for the following data:

A trivia question

Possible answer #1

Possible answer #2

Possible answer #3

Possible answer #4

The number of the correct answer (1, 2, 3, or 4)

The Question class should have appropriate constructor(s), accessor, and mutator functions.

The program should create an array of 10 Question objects, one for each trivia question. Make up your own questions on the subject or subjects of your choice for the objects.

this is what the txt file should contain. (copy past the text below and past it in a txt.file)

Answer 1

I have solved the above problem for you. I have taken care of all the requirements specified in the problem.

The Code is given below:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

class Question
{
    string trivia;//variable used for trivia question
    string option1;//first probable answer
    string option2;//second probable answer
    string option3;//third probable answer
    string option4;//fourth probable answer
    string answer; //correct option
    public:
    Question() //constructor used to initialize data members of this class
    {
        trivia="";
        option1="";
        option2="";
        option3="";
        option4="";
        answer="";
    }
    void set_trivia(string str)//method used to set trivia question
    {
        this->trivia=this->trivia+str;
    }
    string get_trivia()//method to access the trivia question
    {
        return this->trivia;
    }
    void set_option1(string str)//method used to set first probable answer
    {
        this->option1=str;
    }
    string get_option1()//method to access the first probable answer
    {
        return this->option1;
    }
    void set_option2(string str)//method used to set second probable answer
    {
        this->option2=str;
    }
    string get_option2()//method to access the second probable answer
    {
        return this->option2;
    }
    void set_option3(string str)//method used to set third probable answer
    {
        this->option3=str;
    }
    string get_option3()//method to access the third probable answer
    {
        return this->option3;
    }
    void set_option4(string str)//method used to set fourth probable answer
    {
        this->option4=str;
    }
    string get_option4()//method to access the fourth probable answer
    {
        return this->option4;
    }
    void set_answer(string n)//method used to set correct answer option
    {
        this->answer=n;
    }
    string get_answer()//method to access the correct answer option
    {
        return this->answer;
    }

            {
                player2++;
            }
        }
    }
    //display the points of each player
    cout<<"points of Player1 is "<<player1<<endl;
    cout<<"points of Player2 is "<<player2<<endl;
    //compare points to determine the winner
    if(player1<player2)
    {
        cout<<"Player2 is the winner "<<endl;
    }
    else
    {
        cout<<"Player1 is the winner "<<endl;
    }
    inFile.close();
  

    return 0;
}
