Quiz: Results Message

Part of the Projects section of Coddy's Flutter journey. Lesson 18 of 36.

"You scored 5 out of 5" deserves more than a plain line. Finish the quiz with a big icon and a message that fits the result: a trophy for a perfect round, a thumbs up for most right, and some encouragement otherwise.

Three outcomes, checked from the best down, is an if / else if / else. Order matters: a perfect score is also more than half right, so test for it first.

if (score == total) {
  message = 'Perfect!';
  icon = Icons.emoji_events;
} else if (score * 2 >= total) {
  message = 'Well done!';
  icon = Icons.thumb_up;
} else {
  message = 'Keep practicing!';
  icon = Icons.school;
}

score * 2 >= total means "at least half" without any rounding: 3 of 5 passes, 2 of 5 does not.

Declare message, icon and color before the if without a value. Dart checks that every branch gives each one a value before you use it.

This is the last lesson of the quiz. The checks play whole rounds: colors, score, results and Play again.

Challenge

Medium

On the results screen, above the score:

a full score shows Perfect! and an amber Icons.emoji_events
at least half shows Well done! and a green Icons.thumb_up
anything less shows Keep practicing! and Icons.school in the theme's primary color

The icon is 96 pixels, then 16 pixels of space, the message in headlineMedium, 8 pixels, and the score line, now in titleMedium.
