3,508 PointsProblem with quiz.py for the Quiz class video. I keep getting quiz_types is not defined.
'''Python
import datetime import random
from questions import Add, Multiply
class Quiz: questions = [] answers = []
def __init__(self):
self.question_types = (Add, Multiply)
# generate 10 random questions with numbers from 1 to 10
for _ in range(10):
num1 = random.randint(1, 10)
num2 = random.randint(1, 10)
question = random.choice(question_types)(num1, num2)
# add these questions into self.questions
self.questions.append(questions)
def take_quiz(self):
# log the start time
# ask all of the questions
# log if they got the question right
# log the end time
# show a summary
pass
def ask(self, question):
# log the start time
# capture the answer
# check the answer
# log the end time
# if the answer's right, send back True
# otherwise, send back False
# send back the elapsed time, too
pass
def total_correct(self):
# return the total # of correct answers
total = 0
for answer in self.answers:
if answer[0]:
total += 1
return total
def summary(self):
# print how many you got right and the total # of questions. 5/10
print("You got {} out of {} right.".format(
self.total_correct(), len(self.questions)
))
# print the total time for the quiz: 30 seconds!
print("It took you {} seconds total".format(
(self.end_time-self.start_time).seconds
))

Also, the identifier "quiz_types" does not appear in this code, but the code seems to be dependent on another module named "questions.py" that is not shown here.
To share the complete project (without need for special formatting), make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.

243,656 PointsBoth the "quiz.py" and "questions.py" modules in the snapshot only define classes, they don't contain any code to create instances of the classes or any other functional code. Running "python quiz.py" just exits with no errors.
Are you sure this is a snapshot of your current code, and what do you do to see this error?
Matthew Earlywine
3,508 PointsSorry, I really didn't explain my problem. From the video Kenneth ran the program to test it by putting in the console
from quiz import Quiz quiz = Quiz() The program runs. However, when I run my I get a Traceback stating: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/home/treehouse/workspace/quiz.py", line 17, in init
question = random.choice(question_types)(num1, num2)
NameError: name 'question_types' is not defined
Steven Parker
243,656 PointsAha, the error is not "quiz_types" that is not defined, but "question_type".
So on line 17 there appears to be three errors:
question = random.choice(question_types)(num1, num2)
- instead of "
question_types" it should be "self.question_types".
- instead of "
question" (singular) it should probably be "questions" (plural).
- and the "
(num1, num2)" doesn't seem to belong there (or do anything).
