Print each option on new line

Question

This is the code I have so far:

questions = ["What is 1 + 1","What is Batman's real name"]
answer_choices = ["1)1\n2)2\n3)3\n4)4\n5)5\n:","1)Peter Parker\n2)Tony Stark\n3)Bruce Wayne\n4)Thomas Wayne\n5)Clark Kent\n:"]
correct_choices = ["2","3",]
answers = ["1 + 1 is 2","Bruce Wayne is Batman"]

score = 0
answer_choices = [c.split()[:3] for c in answer_choices]
for question, choices, correct_choice, answer in zip(questions,answer_choices, correct_choices, answers):
    print(question)
    user_answer = str(input(choices))
    if user_answer in correct_choice:
        print("Correct")
        score += 1
    else:
        print("Incorrect", answer)
    print(score, "out of", len(questions), "that is", float(score /len(questions)) * 100, "%")

My code runs but the answer_choices (so the question options) don't display on a new line for each list element. How can I do this? An explanation would also be nice

Answer 1

You should get rid of this line in order for your code to work:

answer_choices = [c.split()[:3] for c in answer_choices

Notice that you don't have to split answer_choices since you don't treat the answers of each question as an array.

Moreover, you have more bugs in your code, like the scoring at the end. Here's a formatted and fixed version of your code:

questions = [
"What is 1 + 1?",
"What is Batman's real name?"]

answer_choices = [
"1) 1\n2) 2\n3) 3\n4) 4\n5) 5\n\nYour answer: ",
"1) Peter Parker\n2) Tony Stark\n3) Bruce Wayne\n4) Thomas Wayne\n5) Clark Kent\n\nYour answer: "]

correct_choices = ["2","3",]

answers = [
"1 + 1 is 2",
"Bruce Wayne is Batman"]

score = 0

for question, choices, correct_choice, answer in zip(
questions,answer_choices, correct_choices, answers):
    print(question)
    user_answer = str(input(choices))
    if user_answer in correct_choice:
        print("Correct!\n")
        score += 1
    else:
        print("Incorrect! " + answer + "\n")

print score, "out of", len(questions), "that is", int(float(score)/len(questions)*100), "%"

Answer 2

If you remove/comment the line

answer_choices = [c.split()[:3] for c in answer_choices]

you'll get the output as you expect.

Since answer_choices is already a String array, in for loop you are accessing each array element of answer_choices. Also, since each string in answer_choices are in the format you need them to appear, you don't need to split.

Answer 3

just remove

answer_choices = [c.split()[:3] for c in answer_choices]

it give your expected output
