Make your own quiz by using this project as a template
Give it your quiz name. This can be used for each quiz.

Editing Installation

  npm install
  npm run init

• Edit the answer questions / functions in quiz_src/quiz.js
• Write the correct functions (the answers)
• Make sure to leave the function definition and export
• Also leave the // start and // end in the code

Details for editing the quiz

If you want to commit the answer files in git, remove the quiz lines in the .gitignore file

Editing the quiz: quiz_src/quiz.js

Add question functions in this format:

function q42() {
  // <The question>
  // start
  <correct code to the question>
  return answer
  // end
}
// console.log(q42());

• Don't forget to change the number for each question.
• Make sure the answer code starts with '// start' and ends with '//end'. Otherwise the build script will not work correctly. Everything between is removed during the build.
• The console.log is just for reference while taking the quiz

Then at the bottom of the file, export each function:

module.exports = {
  q1, q2, q3, q4, q5, q42
};

Editing the quiz test: quiz_src/quiz.test.js

Add test functions in this format:

describe('Question 42', () => {
  test('should be 21 * 2', () => {
    expect(quiz.q42(21, 2)).toBe(42);
  });

  test('should be a * b', () => {
    expect(quiz.q42(2, 2)).toBe(4);
  });
  
  test('should be <answer>', () => {
    expect(quiz.q42(<parameters_case_3>)).toBe(<answer>);
  });
});

• Each question is enclosed in a describe function
• Each question can have multiple test cases (different parameters)
