Answer to Question #159876 in Python for Meera

Question

#(a) Write a program that asks the user the same single, simple, random math problem until they get it right. (1A, 1C)

#(b) Add the option for the user to specify how many problems they want to answer. (1A)

#(c) Don't do a fixed number of questions. Instead, ask the user at the end of each question sequence (i.e., when they finally get it right) if they want to continue. (1C)

#(d) Keep track of the user's attempts and the total number of questions, and then report their score (i.e., "you took X tries to answer Y questions correctly") (1A)

#(e) Set a maximum number of tries for each question. When the user makes their last guess, tell them the answer and move on. (1A)

Answer 1

import random


def generate_problem():
    a, b = round(random.random() * 10), round(random.random() * 10)
    r = round(a + b)

    return a, b, r


def a(limit=-1):
    x, y, z = generate_problem()
    tries = 0

    while limit != 0:
        tries += 1
        if int(input(f"What is {x} + {y}?\n")) == z:
            break

        limit -= 1

    if limit == 0:
        print(f"Correct answer is {z}")

    return tries


def b(limit=-1):
    n = input("How many problems do you want to answer?\n")

    for i in range(int(n)):
        a(limit)


def c(limit=-1):
    n = input("How many problems do you want to answer?\n")
    tries = 0

    for i in range(int(n)):
        tries += a(limit)

        if (i != int(n) - 1) and (input("Do you want to continue? (Y/N)\n") == "N"):
            break

    return tries, n


def d(limit=-1):
    tries, total = c(limit)

    print(f"You took {tries} tries to answer {total} questions correctly\n")


# Has to be called with the number of allowed attempts, while this argument is optional for other functions
def e(limit):
    d(limit)
