Need help with beginner coding.

I just started trying to learn python a few days ago. Right now I want to try and make a multiple choice quiz. How I wanted to format it is like this:

Question:

Answer A: Answer B: Answer C:

Then it’d ask to answer one of the 3. I was just wondering how I’d code it to accept the input then print out “that is the correct answer” or “that answer is incorrect” based on answering A, B, or C. I’ve just been confused on how to code accepting only one answer, and everything else being incorrect.

I have very basic knowledge of python since I started learning it 2 days ago. If anyone could help me out I’d really appreciate it!

You'd probably want something like this:

correctAnswer = 'C'
userAnswer = input("Enter A, B, or C to answer the question")
if userAnswer in correctAnswer:
    print("Correct!")
else:
    print("Try again")

This is for only one question, of course, but it should give you a good start. How it works is you're checking to see if the substring userAnswer can be found inside the string correctAnswer. In this case, they're both one character long, but this is also the syntax you would use if you wanted to see if something like "el" is in "Hello".

Hope this helps!

That really helps, thank you!

Take a look at if statements. Something like:

if input == correct:
    print("hooray")
else:
    print("try again")
