CS 1102 Unit 2 Programming Assignment: Create A New Java

Cs 1102 Unit 2 Programming Assignmentfirst Create A New Java Class F

Create a Java class named "Quiz" in Eclipse, which asks a multiple-choice question using JOptionPane. The program should display a question with options, accept user input, and respond with appropriate messages based on whether the answer is correct, incorrect, or invalid. The program should repeatedly prompt the user until the correct answer is given. The submitted files include Quiz.java and screenshots of the dialogs for each response.

Paper For Above instruction

The objective of this programming assignment is to develop a simple Java application that interacts with the user through graphical dialog boxes to present a multiple-choice quiz question, process user input, and provide appropriate feedback. This exercise emphasizes understanding of Java syntax, GUI components (specifically JOptionPane), control structures like loops and conditionals, and user input validation.

The first step involves creating a new Java class named "Quiz" within an existing Eclipse project. The class must contain a main method, which serves as the entry point for program execution. The core functionality begins with defining a String variable called “question,” which includes the quiz question and options, formatted with newline characters (\n) for readability. For example:

String question = "What is the capital of France?\n";


question += "A. London\n";


question += "B. Berlin\n";


question += "C. Paris\n";


question += "D. Madrid\n";


question += "E. Rome\n";

Using the JOptionPane.showInputDialog method, the program then displays this question to the user in a dialog box and captures the user’s response as a String variable named "answer." Before processing, the input is converted to uppercase to normalize responses, facilitating case-insensitive comparison:

answer = answer.toUpperCase();

The core logic involves validating user input. The program checks whether the input corresponds to one of the valid options ("A", "B", "C", "D", "E"). If not, it prompts the user with a message indicating an invalid answer and re-asks the question. If the input is valid but not the correct answer, it informs the user that their answer is incorrect and prompts again. When the correct answer is provided, the program congratulates the user and terminates.

To accomplish repeated prompting, the input and response logic is enclosed within a while loop. This loop continues until the user inputs the correct answer, at which point the loop is exited using break or return.

The final implementation ensures smooth user interaction, handling all input cases gracefully, and verifying all conditions for correctness, invalid input, or incorrect answers. The program's output includes:

  • The quiz question presented in a dialog box with multiple options.
  • Feedback dialogs for correct answers, invalid responses, or incorrect answers.
  • Repeated prompts for answers until the correct one is received.

After completing the program, screenshots should be taken to demonstrate the functionality:

  1. The question dialog with the quiz question and options.
  2. The message dialog confirming a correct answer.
  3. The message dialog for valid but incorrect answers.
  4. The message dialog for invalid answers.

This exercise enhances understanding of GUI programming, input validation, control flow, and user interaction handling in Java, forming a foundational skill for developing interactive applications.
