</div>
);
};
export default Quiz;
The Quiz
component manages the current question index and score. It also tracks when the quiz is finished, displaying the final score once all questions are answered.
Question Component
The Question
component handles the display of each question and allows the user to select an answer.
const Question = ({ question, options, onAnswer, onNext, showNextButton }) => {
return (
<div className="question">
<h2>{question}</h2>
{options.map((option, index) => (
<button className="option" key={index} onClick={() => onAnswer(option)}>
{option}
</button>
))}
{showNextButton && <button className="next" onClick={onNext}>Next </button>}
</div>
);
};
export default Question;
This component takes the data
prop, which includes the question and its options, and renders it dynamically. The handleAnswer
function processes the selected option.
App Component
The App
component manages the layout and renders the Quiz
component.
import Quiz from "./components/Quiz";
import "./App.css";
import logo from "./assets/images/quizlogo.png";
const App = () => {
return (
<div className="app">
<img className="logo" src={logo} alt="logo" />
<Quiz />
<p className="footer">Made with ❤️ by Abhishek Gurjar</p>
</div>
);
};
export default App;
This component structures the page with a header and footer, and the Quiz
component is rendered in the center.
Result Component
The Result
component is responsible for showing the user's quiz score after they submit their answers. It calculates the score by comparing the user's responses with the correct answers and provides feedback on how many questions were answered correctly.
const Result = ({ score, totalQuestion }) => {
return (
<div className='result'>
<h2>Quiz Complete</h2>
<p>Your score is {score} out of {totalQuestion}</p>
</div>
);
}
export default Result;
In this component, the score and total number of questions are passed as props. Based on the score, the component displays a message to the user, either praising them for getting all the answers correct or encouraging them to keep practicing. This dynamic feedback helps users understand their performance.
CSS Styling
The CSS ensures a clean and simple layout for the quiz. It styles the quiz components and provides user-friendly visuals.

}
.result h2{
font-size: 40px;
}
.result p{

}
.footer {

The styling ensures that the layout is centered and provides hover effects on the quiz options, making it more interactive.
