GoQuizCLI

A simple quiz CLI app made using Go.

Usage:

First, quiz.go needs to be compiled, run the following command inside the directory:

go build quiz.go

Then, we can use the program as follows:

goquiz [flags]

The flags are:

-pfile=<string>                     this is the name of the problems CSV file (default is "problems.csv")
-duration=<int>                     this is the duration of the quiz in seconds (default is 30 seconds)
-shuffle=<bool>                     this is the option to shuffle problems (default is false)

Example:

goquiz -pfile="quiz_problems.csv" -duration=130 -shuffle=true

Skills I learned:

• Go: utilized Go for the development of the program
• File handling and CSV parsing: utilized the encoding package in order to parse CSV files
• Error handling: ensured errors are handled and explicit when possible, especially errors resulting from invalid user input
• Concurrent programming: utilized goroutines and channels for simultaneous user input and timer management
