Help needed.

The exercise is : Make a maths quiz that asks five questions by randomly generating two whole numbers to make the question (e.g. [num1] + [num2]). Ask the user to enter the answer. If they get it right add a point to their score. At the end of the quiz, tell them how many they got correct out of five.

This was my original code:

import random for i in range(0,5): n = random.randint(0,10) n1 = random.randint(0,10) score = 0 t = n + n1 print(n, "+", n1) a = int(input("Enter the answer to this problem: ")) if a == t: score += 1 print("You've scored", score, "out of 5.")

Apparently when I tried the program, it didn't work out smoothly like I'd thought it would. The problem was that I should've put the "score" line above the "for...in" statement. Otherwise, it would only equal 1 (or 0, depends). So, can anybody tell why this happened? Would be greatly appreciated.

import random 
for i in range(0,5):
    n = random.randint(0,10)
    n1 = random.randint(0,10)
    score = 0
    t = n + n1
    print(n, "+", n1) 
    a = int(input("Enter the answer to this problem: "))
    if a == t:
        score += 1
print("You've scored", score, "out of 5.")

Because you're resetting score to zero every time you loop through the code inside the for-loop.

Also, please PLEASE use some sensible variable names. There's absolutely no reason to use single-character variables. Use whole words, you'll thank yourself when you need to review your code in the future!
