Thread: Question type program for beginners

I made this program for someone who asked me for a little help with C++, it is for begginers and shows how you could make a basic Question type program.

Code:

#include <iostream> // For cout, cin etc..
#include <conio.h> 

int Question; // We store the answer to the question here

int main()  //Required in almost every program
{
    cout << "What is the answer to 4 + 8?\n\n";  // We ask the user a question
    
    cout << "1) 13\n2) 12\n3) 14\n\n"; //The possible answers *note* \n is for a newline
 
    cin >> Question;        //The user needs to put an input here which will be stored
                            //in out int variable "QUESTION"
       
if(Question  == 2)           //If the user entered the correct answer which is 12
{                           //the program will do this piece of code
    cout << "\nYou answered correct\n";
    cout << "\nPress any key to continue...\n\n";
    getch();
}

else                        //If it was not what the if statment asked for do this
{
    cout << "\nYou answered incorrectly\n";
    cout << "\nPress any key to continue...\n\n";
    getch();
}

cout << "Have a nice day\n";


return 0;                       //Exit the program

}                   //End Int Main()

//Incase your not familar with using "if" and "else". if statments will preform
//a piece of code if the code in the brackets "()" if true, below is an example
//of an alternative way the if statments could of been used you can check for
//more than one scenario just by adding "else if" below the if section:
//  if(Question == 1)
//  {
//  [Code goes here]
//  }
//
//  else if(Question== 2)
//  {
//  [Code goes here]        // In this program this would be the correct option
//  }
//
//  else if(Question == 3)
//  {
//  [Code goes here]
//  }
//
//  else
//  {
//  [Code goes here]
//  }

//It is always wise to include an else statment just incase the user enters something 
//different to what you wanted them to enter, for example if they entered a char type 
//instead of an int the program would not know what to do and something would
//go wrong
