Question

modify Exercise 6.57 in  a way that every time the user give the right answer , the response varies within the following :

Possible responses to a correct answer:


Very good!
Excellent!
Nice work!
Keep up the good work!

while if the user give the incorrect answer the response varies within the following :

Possible responses to an incorrect answer:


No. Please try again.
Wrong. Try once more.
Don't give up!
No. Keep trying.

Use random-number generation to choose a number from 1 to 4 that will be used to select one of the four appropriate responses to each correct or incorrect answer. Use a switch statement to issue the responses.

here is the code that need to be modified :

and make sure you add line comments for each new line of code 

 

EXERCISE 6.57 CODE:

-----------------------------

//Name: IhabAtouf
//Date:02/23/2023
// exercise 6.57 on page 281
//program description: create computer-assisted instruction (CAI) program that help students master thier math skills in multiplications,
// multiplication involving two numbers each is a single digit positive, with encouraging message for succedding and another for failing to answer 
// using random fucntion (rand) to generate a random number every time 

#include<iostream>// to be able to use input output stream
#include<math.h>//h is a header file in the standard library of the C programming language designed for basic mathematical operations
#include<cstdlib>//Converts a string into a long integer, also carry the library for definition of memory allocation and random processe
#include<ctime>//converts the given time since epoch to a calendar local time and then to a character representation.
using namespace std;//using the standard library 

int answer;//global varibale that can be used by any function in this code

void questionGenerator() {//the function that generates the multiplication question 
    srand(time(NULL));// using the random function that changes every time per second 

    //here is the initial variable as zero by default 
    int initial = 0;
    // here is two vraibales number1 and number2 that are required to multiply two numbers 
    int number1;
    int number2;

    number1 = (initial + (rand()) % 10);//the value of number1 using the follwing math : zero + any random number that has remainder of 10 using the remainder modulus
    number2 = (initial + (rand()) % 10);//the value of number2 using the follwing math : zero + any random number that has remainder of 10 using the remainder modulus
    answer = number1 * number2;// the asnwer variable that equals  the multiplication of those two numbers (number1 and 2)
    cout << "How much is  " << number1 << " times " << number2 << " ?" << endl;//print how much is number 1 multiplied by number 2 ?
}
int main() {// the main function 
    int studentResponse = 1;// declaring local variable called student response 
    questionGenerator();// calling the question generator function 
    while (studentResponse != -1) {// as long as the student response not equal to -1 then:

        cout << "Enter the correct answer" << endl;// print enter the correct answer statement 
        cin >> studentResponse;// allow user to input the student response variables value 
        if (answer == studentResponse) {//if the studenrt response entered by user equal the answer variable of multiplying those two numbers1 and number2 variables 
            cout << "Very Good!" << endl;// then print very good statement 
            questionGenerator();// then recall the function again for the net set of random numebrs multiplication 
            continue;// continue till user enter incorrect answer


        }
        else {// otherwise when answer not correct then print please try again statement 
            cout << "Please try again!" << endl;
            while (studentResponse != answer) {// while loop if student response not equal to the correct answer then:
                cout << "Enter the correct answer" << endl;//print message enter correct answer
                cin >> studentResponse;//allow user to reneter hoping to get the correct answer, this will keep repeats as long as the student answer and the corredct answer doesnt match
                if (answer == studentResponse) {// if the answer match with student answer then:
                    cout << "Very Good!" << endl;// then print very good statement 
                    questionGenerator();// then recall the function again for the net set of random numebrs multiplication question 
                    continue;// continue till user input incorrect answer

                
                
                }
            }

        }
        
    }
    return 0;
}

Explanation

Here is the approach  :

  1. To generate the random number in c++ is very easy task . 
  2. We have to use the random generator . Hence get the random generator . 
  3. We want to generate the random number within the range of 1 to 4 because we have total 4 messages in both the cases success and failure . 
  4. Hence to generate the random number within the range of 1 to 4  ---> 1+ (rand() % 4)
  5. Here we are using the modulo operator to generate the random number in the range . 
  6. Next we need the switch case . 
  7. In the switch case switch the randomly generated number . 
  8. In the code store the randomly generated message in some string variable . 
  9. Check the code and output in the second step . Everything is mentioned in the comments .
