quiz_file = '/home/wryther/desktop/quiz.dat' num_questions = 146  def get_chunk(buf, n):      while buf:         chunk = [buf.readline() _ in range(n)]           if not any(chunk):              chunk = none           yield chunk  def get_awns(ans):  #this transfomrs ints answers str compare if right or wrong.    if ans == 1:          ans = 'a'     elif ans == 2:          ans = 'b'     elif ans == 3:          ans = 'c'     elif ans == 4:          ans = 'd'    open(quiz_file) quiz_contents:      choices = [none] * num_questions      = 0      chunk in get_chunk(quiz_contents, 6):             if not chunk:             break              print()             line in chunk:             print(line)              choices[i] = int(input("1   3\n2    4?\n:"))             get_awns(choices[i]) 

i appreciate replies, whether it's criticism, tips or help, if it's relevant subject.

if read answer correctly, question how separate within each chunk question answers. @jonrsharpe commented, have access items of each chunk separately. either using subscripts jonrsharpe said, or can unpack them directly.

def readchunk(buf, n):     _ in range(n):         yield next(buf).strip() #get rid of newlines  open('questions.txt', 'r') lines:     while true:         try:             #unpacking separate values             correct, question, *answers = readchunk(lines, 6)         except valueerror:             #end of file             break         print('the question is', question)         print('and answers are', answers)         print('and correct answers is', answers[ord(correct) - ord('a')])
