Lesson Complete - The Player's Answer | Build PyQuiz — Python Basics

You finished Python Basics. Over three lessons you built a working terminal quiz from scratch, one piece at a time.

Here is the complete quiz.py:

question = "What is the type of the value 3.14?"
option_1 = "int"
option_2 = "str"
option_3 = "float"
option_4 = "bool"
correct = 3

print("=== Python Quiz ===")
print()
print(question)
print()
print(f"  1) {option_1}")
print(f"  2) {option_2}")
print(f"  3) {option_3}")
print(f"  4) {option_4}")
print()
answer_text = input("Your answer (1-4): ")
answer = int(answer_text)
is_correct = answer == correct
print()
print(f"You answered: {answer}")
print(f"Correct: {is_correct}")

What the program does, end to end:

Stores the question, options, and correct answer in variables
Prints the quiz title, question, and four numbered options
Waits for the player to type a number and press Enter
Converts the input from a string to an integer
Checks if the answer matches the correct option and stores True or False
Displays what the player chose and whether they got it right

What you learned:

print() — display text and values in the terminal
Variables — give data a name so you can use it anywhere in your code
Strings and integers — the two value types used in the quiz
f-strings — embed variables directly in printed text
input() — pause the program and collect the player's response
int() — convert a string to an integer
Comparison operators — ==, !=, >, <, >=, <=
Boolean values — True and False as the result of comparisons

What's still missing: the quiz doesn't say "Correct!" or "Wrong!" — it just prints True or False. Acting on is_correct requires running different code depending on its value, and that requires if/else.

Next course — Upgrade PyQuiz: Control Flow: you will add if/else to give feedback after each answer, loops to ask multiple questions, and a score that updates as the player goes. That's when the quiz starts to feel like a real game.
