Given the answer key of N MCQ and the answer marked by the student. The task is to calculate the Marks of the student. 

Marking Scheme is as follows: 

  • +3 marks for every correct answer.
  • -1 marks for every wrong answer.
  • 0 marks for not attempting the question.

Examples: 

Input:  N = 5
        Answer key =  {1, 2, 1, 3, 1}
        Student answer = {1, 3, 1, 0, 2}
Output: 4 
(Only 1 and 3 questions are correctly marked and 2 and 5 are 
marked wrong and 4 is not attempt so, (2 * 3) + (2 * -1) = 4)

Input:  N = 5
        Answer key =     {1, 2, 3, 4, 1}
        Student answer = {1, 2, 3, 4, 0}
Output: 12
(1, 2, 3, 4 questions are correctly marked and 5 is not attempt 
so, (4 * 3) = 12)

Approach:  

  1. Start traversing the Student_answer[].
  2. If the value at current index of Student_answer[] = 0 then that question is not attempted.
  3. Else If the value at current index is equal to the value at corresponding index in Answer_key[] then increment the count of positive answers.
  4. Else increment the count of negative answers.
  5. Print the total marks by calculating positive marks and negative marks.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:  

C++




// C++ implementation of above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function that calculates marks.
int markingScheme(int N, int answerKey[], int studentAnswer[])
{
    int positive = 0, negative = 0, notattempt = 0;
 
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
 
        // for not attempt score + 0
        if (studentAnswer[i] == 0)
            notattempt++;
 
        // for each correct answer score + 3
        else if (answerKey[i] == studentAnswer[i])
            positive++;
 
        // for each wrong answer score - 1
        else if (answerKey[i] != studentAnswer[i])
            negative++;
    }
 
    // calculate total marks
    return (positive * 3) + (negative * -1);
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int answerKey[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 1 };
    int studentAnswer[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 0 };   
    int N = sizeof(answerKey)/sizeof(answerKey[0]);
    cout << markingScheme(N, answerKey, studentAnswer);
 
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java implementation of above approach
 
// Function that calculates marks.
class geeksforgeeks
{
static int markingScheme(int N, int answerKey[], int studentAnswer[])
{
    int positive = 0, negative = 0, notattempt = 0;
 
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
 
        // for not attempt score + 0
        if (studentAnswer[i] == 0)
            notattempt++;
 
        // for each correct answer score + 3
        else if (answerKey[i] == studentAnswer[i])
            positive++;
 
        // for each wrong answer score - 1
        else if (answerKey[i] != studentAnswer[i])
            negative++;
    }
 
    // calculate total marks
    return (positive * 3) + (negative * -1);
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String args[])
{
    int answerKey[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 1 };
    int studentAnswer[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 0 };
    int N = answerKey.length;
    int marking_Scheme = markingScheme(N, answerKey, studentAnswer); 
    System.out.println(marking_Scheme);
}
}
