Using the Program

Overview

On running the program, you'll be asked to enter the name of the question bank file. Enter it on the new line as you would for all inputs, excluding the file extension.

All interaction with the program is from Stdin (the command line interface) and should be straight forward.

As you personally chose the correct answers when creating your question bank, as well as the format of them, it should all make sense to you.

Any input will be considered an answer to the current question, unless it is a command. Information on how to use these is below.

Commands

There are multiple commands available to you throughout usage of the program. Some are present everywhere, others are only available within certain sections.
