For any input i type in I keep getting the same thing. It keeps saying that all of the answers are incorrect. I'm also getting these lines of output every time.
You got 20 correct.
You missed -20.
You've passed!
Can someone please help me?
Here's the description of the problem. My code is below it.
The local Driver's License Office has asked you to write aprogram that grades the written portion of driver's license exam.The exam has 20 multiple choice questions. Here are the correctanswers:
1. B 6.A 11.B 16. C
2. D 7.B 12.C 17. C
3. A 8.A 13.D 18. B
4. A 9.C 14.A 19. D
5. C 10.D 15.D 20. A
Your program should store the correct answers shown above inan array. It should ask the user to enter the student's answers foreach of the 20 questions, and the answers should be stored inanother array. After the student's answers have been entered, theprogram should display a message indicating whether the studentpassed or failed the exam. (A student must correctly answer 15 ofthe 20 questions to pass the exam.)
It should then display the total number of correctly answered questions, the total number of incorrectly answered questions, and a list showing the questions numbers of the incorrectly answered questions.
Input Validations: Only accept the letters A, B, C, or D as answers.
