Revisit the Quiz Engine

The final Fundamentals I capstone was a working quiz engine. This smaller version starts from the same familiar pieces:

• a list of question dictionaries;

• one response for each question;

• a function that checks one answer;

• a function that loops through the quiz and counts correct responses.

questions = [
    {
        "prompt": "What does len('cat') return?",
        "answer": "3",
    },
    {
        "prompt": "Which keyword starts a function?",
        "answer": "def",
    },
]

Each dictionary models one question. The keys establish an informal agreement: every record should provide a prompt and an answer.

Follow the call

The quiz loop can select matching positions from the two lists:

for index in range(len(question_list)):
    question = question_list[index]
    response = response_list[index]

It then asks check_answer for a Boolean result:

if check_answer(question, response):
    score += 1

The design is procedural, readable, and suitable for a small program. We are not looking for an excuse to replace it. We are establishing a working baseline that later designs must genuinely improve.

Complete the familiar function

The editor provides the data and check_answer. Complete run_quiz without changing the data model. This is a reading and reconstruction exercise, not a design rewrite.
