# Lab 4: Automatic Quiz Details

Continuing with the *divide, solve, combine* theme, we will break this
program into individual functions. Note that these are suggestions, there
are many different ways to divide the quiz into parts.

### Part A

In the `lab04/conditionals.py` file, you are provided with the function
called `askUserForAnswer` which returns the integer corresponding to the
user's choice.

Test this function in the Python console so you understand what it does.

```xml
In[]: askUserForAnswer()

Select 1, 2 or 3: 1
Out[]: 1

In[]: askUserForAnswer()

Select 1, 2 or 3: 2
Out[]: 2
```


### Task B

Now, write a function called `firstQuestion()` that **prints** a question
followed by three answer options, e.g.

```xml
In[]: firstQuestion()

Which food do you like the most?
1: artichokes
2: lettuce
3: kimchi
```

You can come up with your own questions/answers, just associate the #1
option with earth, the #2 option with water, and the #3 option with fire.

Note that this function does not need to prompt the user for their input,
it simply needs to print the question and possible answers.

Once `firstQuestion()` is written and tested, write two additional
question/answer functions (`secondQuestion`, and `thirdQuestion`).


### Part C

Write a function called `determineElement` that **accepts three integers
as parameters** and **returns a calculated element as a String**
(`earth`, `water`, `fire`).

```xml
In[]: determineElement(1, 1, 1)
Out[]: 'earth'

In[]: determineElement(2, 2, 2)
Out[]: 'water'

In[]: determineElement(1, 2, 3)
Out[]: 'water'

In[]: determineElement(3, 3, 3)
Out[]: 'fire'
```

It's up to you to design the formula for how the elements are chosen. In
the above example, we had programmed it so that if they chose 1 for all
the answers, they were earth. If they chose 3 for all the answers they
were fire. If they chose a mixture of 1,2,3 they were water.

But again, the formula is up to you to design as you like. Have fun with
it!


### Part D

Finally, write a function called `runQuiz` that does the following:

+ Shows the first question (using `firstQuestion`)
+ Prompts the user for their answer (using `askUserForAnswer`)
+ Repeats the above two steps for the second and third question
+ Using the responses from the questions, determines the user's element
  (using `determineElement`)
+ Prints the resulting element

When you're done, test your quiz to make sure it works as expected.
