Which language and IDE would require less coding for my test program?

Most languages know the concept of a "loop". So, the language to use is not determined by the amount of questions. I'd say Visual Basic is the way to go. Lots of examples out there, including psychology tests.

VB IS a psychology test!

I'm currently using C++ Builder and I'm only doing console programming at the moment. But eventually I will move forward into making some Windows programs. One program I'd like to write is a test. I'd like to make a psychology test. This will have about 10 questions. Either just true or false or maybe I'll decide they will be multiple choice. My question is which language and IDE do you think would be easier to get this done? Visual Studio using C# or Embarcadero C++ Builder? I can't seem to come to a conclusion myself so here I ask.
I'm not a beginner by any means. I done a lot of console programming. I will probably use a console program as a prototype for the Windows version. But you're right. Either language will work just fine.

Don't use a console program as a prototype: the two operate completely differently. The console is functional programming, where the app determines what is to happen at any time. The Windows version is event driven, where the user (and to an extent the data) determines what is to happen when. Trying to write a windows program as if it was a console app will not work at all well.

Question 1: What possessed you to choose Visual Basic? :laugh:

I'd recommend Windows Forms / C#: you have a great IDE, Visual Studio, all the essentials for single-inheritance OOP (with Interfaces to kind-of implement multiple inheritance), and a time-tested (albeit quirky) set of useful controls ... and the ability to create custom controls, or controls that inherit from (and modify) the native controls. I think that once you get going with these tools, you'll feel like your days in console programming were a jail sentence :) cheers, Bill

Well, in my opinion, you would find it easier to prototype things with C#, you could always port your code to C++ or even C if you need to for optomization reasons. Visual Studio can be downloaded for free, though it doesn't have all the useful libraries to make absolutely everything easier. If you go with Winforms at first you will not have to do any ASP.NET back-coding for the GUI, that can save a lot of time. The reason I suggest C# is that it is Strongly Typed and Type Safe making it much easier to debug than a language like Java.

No language at all. There are internet services that already do that. They provide a way for you to write questions, provide a form for the answer, and probably even grading. I suspect some are even free.
