    except Exception as e:
        print(e)
        print("Please enter an integer value.")
        maxQuestions = 0
for count, (q, right) in enumerate(questions):
    if count >= maxQuestions:
        break
    elif input(q).lower() == right:
        print("Well done! You got it right!")
        score += 1
    else:

print("Your score is {} points".format(score))

My hunch is that the problem dean.ong.14 (Dean Ong) encounters is caused by a user file saved as random.py, something to be avoided.

how to add quit?

else:
