I'm trying to make a quiz maker and loader in python 3.9 and I'm wondering how do I save a list of questions and answers. This is so you can make a list then save it to a file and load it to answer it.
questions = [
input("Enter question 1: "),
input("Enter question 2: "),
input("Enter question 3: "),
input("Enter question 4: "),
input("Enter question 5: "),
input("Enter question 6: "),
input("Enter question 7: "),
input("Enter question 8: "),
input("Enter question 9: "),
input("Enter question 10: "),
]
Given your usecase, I don't think it would be wise to use a pickle file. Instead I would suggest to convert the list
into a string
and store it in a simple txt
file. Here is a sample of how you can do it:
questions = [
input("Enter question 1: "),
input("Enter question 2: "),
input("Enter question 3: "),
input("Enter question 4: "),
input("Enter question 5: "),
input("Enter question 6: "),
input("Enter question 7: "),
input("Enter question 8: "),
input("Enter question 9: "),
input("Enter question 10: "),
]
with open('outfile.txt','w') as f:
f.write('SEP'.join(questions)) #You can replace the SEP with a newline or say a pipe operator (|) or something similar
with open('outfile.txt') as f:
print(f.read().split("SEP")) #Returns the list of questions as you have earlier
