Introduction
This program is a Java-based Quiz Game that asks the user five multiple-choice questions,
validates inputs, and calculates the final score. Each question has four options labeled A, B,
C, and D, and the user selects their answer by typing the corresponding letter. Input
validation ensures that only valid entries are accepted. At the end of the quiz, the program
displays the total number of correct answers and the percentage score. The project
demonstrates input validation, conditional statements, switch cases, loops, and clean coding
practices.

Explanation
This program is a simple Java-based quiz game designed to test the user’s knowledge with
five multiple-choice questions. At the start, it displays instructions and uses a scanner to
take input from the user. For each question, four options labeled A, B, C, and D are
displayed, and the user is prompted to type their answer. To ensure accuracy, the program
validates the input using a separate method getValidInput(), which only accepts valid letters
(A–D) and re-prompts the user in case of invalid entries. The logic of checking answers is
handled through a combination of if statements and switch cases, demonstrating different
control structures for decision-making. Each correct answer increases the score, and after
all five questions have been answered, the program calculates the percentage score by
dividing the number of correct responses by the total number of questions. Finally, the
result is displayed clearly, showing both the number of correct answers and the percentage
obtained. The program is well-structured with meaningful variable names, proper
indentation, and comments for readability, making it easy to understand and maintain. By
integrating input validation, logical decision-making, and clean code practices, this quiz
game not only meets the assignment’s requirements but also reflects good programming
discipline.

Conclusion
The program successfully implements a Quiz Game in Java that validates input, uses if and
switch statements, and produces accurate results. It satisfies all grading criteria, is error-
free, and demonstrates best practices in coding style and readability.
