I need to create a program on the command line that is essentially a flash card

Question

I need to create a program on the command line that is essentially a flash card game. I will write the program based off of a text file in Ubuntu, and I am having trouble understanding how to differentiate between words and definitions from the text file in my actual program. for example, the text file will have many statements like "Java: a programming language" and I need the questions in my program to read "What is java? A) a programming language B) whatever C) whatever D) whatever. I am also having trouble figuring out how to get the program to know which option corresponds to the right answer and grade the player accordingly.

Explanation / Answer

I had a good suggestion for you to create this game.

NOTE:please read it and understand carefully it is an optimised and simple solution for your problem...

First you need to write all the statements in a file as follows

//file.txt---In this file you have to write the statements has to be asked by the program

java:a programming language

html:web designing language

css:stylesheets

...

...

..

you have to write all the statements with keyword:answer format..

now we write a java program as

//Algorthim to given game

flashcardgame(){

read the file and save as two dimensional array

as first dimension keyword(word before colon)

second dimension(statement after colon).

run in a loop so that we get all the keywords and statements respectively

now we have all the questions and respective answers in array

now ask question to user as

what is+(some random keyword from array(first_dimensioni))?

A.some random statement from the array(second dimension).

B.some random statement from the array(second dimension).

C.answer from the array with same index as question number(second dimension).

D.some random statement from the array(second dimension).

like this you can generate random questions and random options

take input from user and check if array index matches to both dimensions

and give marks correspondingly.

}

hope this helps...

Thankyou....:)
