In the code below (which shows all my neophyteness in Python), I took the books of the KJV Bible and put them in logical order via a list and dictionary. I then used a random method to display 5 random books to a user along with the position of the each book in a random list for the user to match (something for me to better learn the books of the Bible). My difficulty is figuring out how to go about saving the results and tallying up the number correct/wrong. I also would like to give the user an option to choose the number of questions like 10, 15, 20, or 30 …. Can someone give me direction on this? Thanks!
