any tips for shuffle the quiz?

December 5, 2022

This resource I got from Google, I have tried how to make the quiz random but I didn’t find a good way to randomize the quiz.

Is there an easy way to randomize the quiz? I tried using shuffle but it failed, maybe because I’m still a beginner so I still lack knowledge.

// create questions
var questions = [

this.text = text;
this.choices = choices;
this.answer = answer;
}

Question.prototype.isCorrectAnswer = function(choice) {
return this.answer === choice;
}


function Quiz(questions) {
this.score = 0;
this.questions = questions;
this.questionIndex = 0;
}

Quiz.prototype.getQuestionIndex = function() {
return this.questions[this.questionIndex];
}

Quiz.prototype.guess = function(answer) {
if (this.getQuestionIndex().isCorrectAnswer(answer)) {
this.score++;
}

this.questionIndex++;
}

Quiz.prototype.isEnded = function() {
return this.questionIndex === this.questions.length;
}

// create quiz
var quiz = new Quiz(questions);

// display quiz
populate();

I tried if it was refreshed or answered on it would bring up a random quiz

>Solution :

you can use the sort() method to randomly shuffle the order of the questions and answers in the questions array

var questions = [
  {
    text: "What is the capital of France?",
    choices: ["Paris", "London", "Rome", "Berlin"],
    correct: 0
  },
  {
    text: "What is the capital of Italy?",
    choices: ["Paris", "London", "Rome", "Berlin"],
    correct: 2
  },
  // ... other questions
];

// Shuffle the order of the questions and answers
questions.sort(function() {
  return 0.5 - Math.random();
});
