some questions that needs to be answered.


  1. Text file structure:
Along with question, we need to identify  type of question it belongs to. This is essential to pick only the predetermined number of questions belonging to that category (How to identify for every question?)

What if the question or answer is more than one line?  How to identify the beginning and end of a multiline questions/answers? (Do we need terminators?)

Since we need to pick questions randomly  type of question wise, It could be essential to load all questions and answers into memory( will we run short of memory due to page swaps?) : Assuming we  have 60+ sets of questions and each question paper having  around 65 questions and answers having multiple lines what will be the  performance?(I do not have exposure to working with flat text files, but  had only to indexed files  and Databases which also have indexes  and hence fairly fast)
 Rather than uploading entire question paper, if some one wants to add just questions, what  interface should we provide for entry?
As discussed there has to be a facility for modification of questions/answers for wrong entry/ rephrasing of questions or answers.
Do we need to provide a delete option for  selected  questions?
Do we insist that question and answers should always be given/entered  simultaneously?


As we move along we may have more doubts/suggestions…
