The Harry Potter Sorting Hat Quiz - a Codecademy student project in C++
This project presents a delightful console-based quiz application inspired by the magical Sorting Hat from the Harry Potter series. Users are asked a series of questions, each contributing to a score for one of the four Hogwarts houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. The house with the highest score at the end of the quiz is deemed the best fit for the user.
- Interactive Quiz Format: Users interact with the quiz through a console interface, responding to prompts to answer questions.
- Dynamic Scoring System: Each answer influences the user's alignment with the four Hogwarts houses, dynamically updating scores based on responses.
- Input Validation: The program includes input validation to ensure users enter valid responses, improving user experience and program stability.
- Final House Assignment: At the end of the quiz, the program calculates the highest-scoring house and "sorts" the user accordingly.
- Compile the Program: Use a C++ compiler to compile the source code.
- Run the Executable: Launch the compiled program to start the quiz.
- Answer Questions: Respond to each question by typing a number corresponding to your choice and press Enter.
- View Your House Assignment: After answering all questions, the program will display your assigned Hogwarts house.
