Frontend Quiz Code build your own Quiz Exercise

by

This is a basic structure for a single multiple choice question. The JavaScript function checkAnswer() checks the selected radio button and displays an explanation based on whether the answer is correct or not.

  1. Duplicate the structure for each question. Make sure to change the name attribute of the radio buttons for each question so that the browser treats them as separate groups.
  2. Update the JavaScript function to handle each question separately. You’ll need a way to identify which question is being answered and provide the correct feedback.
  3. Manage the explanations for each question. This can become quite lengthy, so you may want to consider loading explanations dynamically or using a more advanced method of displaying them.

Please note that this is a basic implementation. For a full-fledged quiz application, you might want to consider more advanced features like randomizing questions, keeping track of scores, or even storing user progress, which would require a more complex setup possibly involving a backend and a database.
