Problem Specification
For this lab assignment, you are going to assume that you are a professor designing
your own quiz program. Your quiz can have multiple question types, all children of the
Question class. Your program will consist of two parts, the Question classes that extend
the Question class, the quiz, which knows nothing about the implementation of the
Question but can have many questions, and the main class which handles all that.
Input: The input is handled by the createQuiz() method. You don’t have to worry about
file io for this assignment. Assume, however, that the questions in the method might
change.
Sample Output:
Program Menu:
1. Take Quiz.
2. Exit
Please choose an option: 1
Question 1: The cat _____ the rat.
Fill in the blank.
Enter your answer: ate //note: Case does not matter.
Your answer is correct.
Question 2: 1 is less than 2
Enter true or false.
Enter your answer: false //note: Case does not matter. T and f are also valid answers.
Your answer is incorrect.
Question 3: What color is snow?
Type in a one word answer.
Enter your answer: White //note: Case does not matter.
Your answer is correct.

You have finished the exam.
Out of 3 questions, you answered 2 correctly. //note: these numbers should not be
hardcoded. The quiz can have many questions, the user might make no mistakes, etc…
For the menu, any option other than 0 or 1 should prompt the user to enter a correct
option.
The prompts after the question are not part of the question. The text for question three
is “What color is snow?” The phrase “Type in a one word answer.” is appended by the
getQuestion method. Read the comments in the classes below for more details.
IQuestion Interface:
Details:
You are to implement this interface in a class called Question.
Add the following method to your implementation.
/**
*
* @return the wording of the question as a string
*/
final String getText(){
…..
}
getQuestion, getAnswer, and checkAnswer should be abstract.
public interface IQuestion {
/**
* @return returns the question text plus any other extra prompts or details.
*/
public String getQuestion();
/**
*
* @return the answer as a string
*/
public String getAnswer();
/**
*
* @param answer the answer entered by the user
* @return true if the answer is correct, false otherwise.
*/
public boolean checkAnswer(String answer);
}

IQuiz Interface

/**
* @param questions list of questions in the quiz

* @return the next question that should be answered.
*/
public IQuestion getNextQuestion();
/**
* sets the isStarted variable to true if it is false and returns the current question
* @return the current question waiting for an answer.
*/
public IQuestion getCurrentQuestion();
/**

*/
public String getCurrentAnswer();
/**
* checks if the user input matches the question’s answer.
* @param answer the user input as a string
* @return true if the answer matches, false otherwise.
*/

* isStarted and isCompleted to false;
*/

* @return the number of the current question

Quiz UI Interface
Main Class: DO NOT MODIFY
public class Main {
public static int getUserChoice(Scanner in){
int choice =0;
do{
System.out.println(“Program Menu”);
System.out.println(“0. Take Quiz”);
System.out.println(“1. Exit”);

CS 1120 Spring 2016 LA 4 eQuiz System
Requirements:
1. Create a project and name it edu.wmich.cs1120.spring16.quiz.YOUR_ID
a. YOUR_ID is the id you used to log in to gowmu.
2. Create four packages:
a. edu.wmich.cs1120.spring16.quiz.YOUR_ID
b. edu.wmich.cs1120.spring16.quiz.YOUR_ID.Driver
c. edu.wmich.cs1120.spring16.quiz.YOUR_ID.Questions
d. edu.wmich.cs1120.spring16.quiz.YOUR_ID.Quiz
3. Add the Main class to the Driver package.
4. Add the IQuestion Interface to the Question package and implement it in
Question. Don’t forget to read the details below the IQuestion interface.
a. Add the BlankFill Class to the question package and extend Question
i. Constructor: public BlankFill(String questionText, String answer)
ii. The constructor will have to call Question’s constructor to set the
questionText variable.
iii. Note that getText is final and package private.
iv. Override the methods in Question. DO NOT CHANGE the signature
or the return type of any of the methods.
v. The getQuestion method should add “\nFill in the blank.” to the
question text.
b. Add the ShortAns Class to the question package and extend Question
i. Constructor: public ShortAns(String questionText, String answer)
ii. Requirements 4.a.ii – 4.a.iv apply.
iii. The getQuestion method should add “\Type in a one word answer”
to the question text.
c. Add the TrueFalse class to the question package and extend Question
i. Constructor: public TrueFalse(String questionText, boolean
answer)
ii. Requirements 4.a.ii – 4.a.iv apply.
iii. Note that it takes a Boolean as the answer. Do not change the
method signatures or return types. (hint: look at
Boolean.toString(…) and Boolean.parseBoolean(..)).
iv. The getQuestion method should add “\nEnter true or false.” To the
question text.
v. The getAnswer method should return a string representation of the
answer (true for true and false for false).
vi. The checkAnswer should accept a string with true, t, false, f in
lower case, upper case, or a mix.
d. Add the IQuiz interfance to the quiz package and implement it in the Quiz
class. Also add IQuizUI and implement it in QuizUI.
i. Note that the quiz class has no idea what the type of the question is
or what it contains. All it has access to is the Question class.
e. Do not assume that the questions will remain as those given to you.
