   • D) Java Variable Model

   Answer: If the user selects "A) Java Virtual Machine," they receive a message indicating whether they were correct.

Adding More Questions

To add more questions to the game, follow these steps:

1. Open the QuestionManager class.
2. In the initQuestions() method, add a new Question object with your custom question, answer choices, and the index of the correct answer.

Questions.add(new Question("Your custom question?",
   new String[] {"A) Option1", "B) Option2", "C) Option3", "D) Option4"},
   2)); // Correct answer is the 3rd option (index 2)

Technologies Used
