I am beginner. I started to create a game of questions of general culture. I made a table.
Dim question$ (4)
…
Dim answer$(4)
…
For the moment a question has only one answer. But I block on the questions which can have several answers. For example:
Who was the Pharaon husband of Néfertiti?
Two answers are possible Akhenaton or Aménophis IV.
How to make the table?
Thank you

I'm not sure on what you are asking... but i think you could make several answers to each question by Declaring the array like this...

Dim Answer$(4,4)

Then each question could have up to five answers... so you could say...

Question$(0)="Who was the Pharaon husband of Néfertiti?"
Answer$(0,0)="Akhenaton"
Answer$(0,1)="Aménophis IV"

well... I hope that answers your question...

It might be better to go with a multiple choice set of questions since computers are very literal about string characters and the slightest thing will cause it not to match the correct answer.

If you're using DBP, you can make an array of types:

type questionFormat
question as string
answer1 as string
answer2 as string
answer3 as string
answer4 as string
answer as integer
end type

dim test(20) as questionFormat

... add code to open a text file or read data statements
