C++ Programming

Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

Design a C++ program which simulates the popular quiz show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire ?" Contestants should be presented with questions and four possible answers. There are a total of 15 possible questions, ranging from $100 up to $1,000,000. After you answer a question correctly, you may choose to quit and walk away with the money or continue. Answering the fifth question (1,000) or tenth question (32,000) correctly will guarantee you that amount. In addition, the contestant should have three "Life Lines" similar to the "50/50" on the show. When the contestant choses a Life Line, two of the incorrect answers are removed, leaving one correct and one incorrect answer. On the following page are screenshots from an online version of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" made using Adobe Flash.

Declaring Variables Your program should use three arrays to store question information. string Question[51]; string Answer [51][5]; int CorrectAnswer[51];

The variable declararions above describe arrays that go from 0 to 50 (ie. 51 items) and a two dimensional array with the second dimension ranging from 0 to 4 (ie. 5 items). To keep things simple, we simply will ignore the items at index = 0.

To Store the Questions and Answers Question[1] = "How many months in a year?"; Answer[1][1] = "Ten"; Answer[1][2] = "Six"; Answer[1][3] = "Twelve"; Answer[1][4] = "Nine"; CorrectAnswer[1]= 3; Question[2] = "What is Canada's capital?"; Answer[2][1] = "Ottawa"; Answer[2][2] = "Montreal"; Answer[2][3] = "Toronto"; Answer[2][4] = "None of the above"; CorrectAnswer[2] = 1;
