Unit 5 Programming Assignment Solution
The quiz questions, answers, and choices for correct answer should be unique for each submission. Here
is an example.
File "Question.java":
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public abstract class Question {
static int nQuestions = 0;
static int nCorrect = 0;
String question;
String correctAnswer;
abstract String ask();
void check() {
nQuestions++;
String answer = ask();
if (answer.equals(correctAnswer)) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Correct!");
nCorrect++;
} else {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Incorrect. The correct
answer is "+correctAnswer+".");
static void showResults() {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,nCorrect+" correct out of
"+nQuestions+" questions");
}
File "TrueFalseQuestion.java".
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

answer.equals("YES")) answer = "TRUE";
if (answer.equals("F") || answer.equals("N") ||
