In this course, you will build PyQuiz — a terminal app that tests your Python knowledge with multiple-choice questions.

Here is what the finished quiz looks like when you run it:

How the quiz works

Before you start writing code, here is a quick overview of the moving parts:

Questions and answers are stored in your code. Each question has a text, four options, and a correct answer. You will write these yourself.
The display shows the player a question and numbered options. This is the first thing you will build.
Player input lets the player type a number to pick their answer. The quiz reads what they type and compares it to the correct answer.
Feedback tells the player if they got it right or wrong — and shows the correct answer when they miss.
Scoring tracks how many points the player has earned and calculates a percentage at the end.

You will build each of these pieces one at a time, in order. By the end, they all work together as a complete quiz.
