Question

Create a program using Python, following the steps below: 1) Collect the Users name, and store that name. 2) Welcome the user, and ask if that user would like to take the Capitals quiz. 3) Create a dictionary of US states as keys and the state capitals that correspond with your list, as the values (Choose 12 of your favorite states). 4) Then have the program quiz the user, randomly asking for the capital of each of the states in your dictionary. 5) Use a string manipulator, in order to lower case each answer, so the person taking the quiz can upper case if they desire. The comparison and the results will be much better. 6) Have the user be told whether they are right or wrong, and keep track of the results, both right and wrong, in separate counters (variable). 7) Once the user has completed all 12 questions, have the results printed on the screen for the user, and end the program. 8) Ask the user if they would like to take the quiz again. <-- See Below 9) Make the program recursive, so they can take the quiz over and over.

Answer 1

Python code

import random

def quiz():

   # states names with capitals in a dictionary
   states_dict = {"alabama":"montgomery", "alaska":"juneau", "california":"sacramento", "hawaii":"honolulu", "indiana":"indianapolis", "michigan":"lansing", "mississippi":"jackson", "missouri":"jefferson city","new york":"albany", "pennsylvania":"harrisburg", "texas":"austin", "washington":"olympia"}

   # get states names by using taking keys of the dictionary
   states = list(states_dict.keys())

   # define 2 variables to count correct and wrong answers
   correct = wrong = 0

   print("Quiz started\n")

   # run loop for 12 times
   for i in range(12):

       # randomly select a state
       state = random.choice(states)

       # remove the selected state from the states list
       states.remove(state)

       # print the question number
       print("Question",(i+1),"\n")

       # print the question
       print("What is the capital of",state)
  
       # read the user answer      
       answer = input("Enter your answer\n").lower()

       # compare the user answer and the actual answer
       if(states_dict[state] == answer):
           # increment correct by 1
           correct+=1
       else:
           # increment wrong by 1
           wrong+=1
       print("")

   # print no.of correct answers
   print("Out of 12 Questions\nNo.of correct answers:",correct)

   # print no.of wrong answers
   print("No.of wrong answers:",wrong)

   # read user opinion to take the quiz again
   opinion = input("Would you like to take capitals quiz again? yes/no :\n")
   if(opinion == "yes" or opinion == "y"):
       # call the function recursively
       quiz()
      

# read user's name and store
username = input("Enter your name :\n")

# print welcome message
print("Hello "+username+"! Welcome to Capitals Quiz")

# read user opinion to take the quiz
opinion = input("\nWould you like to take capitals quiz? yes/no\n")
if(opinion == "yes" or opinion == "y"):
   # call the function quiz()
   quiz()
print("Program Ended")
