I am trying to ask the user to pick a quiz, read the relevant questions from a txt file, ask for user answers, validate and check they are correct then add up to scores. I am completely self taught so have picked this code up from various sites but as I have adapted it it no longer works - what have I done wrong? I know its probably something really obvious so please be gentle with me!
