Quizzicle: A Java Math Quiz Generator
Here is a quick Java application I whipped up. Quizzicle is a command line application that generates random math equations. You can choose an arithmetic operation, the number of questions, the number of digits in the question, and if negative numbers or zeros are allowed. Javadoc included.
Update 1.1:
- Adds a Timer
- Adds Logging (writing to a file)
- Various other minor features
I did not plan to release this one so you may see a few hacks.

Hi,
This is an awesome program by the way. I was wondering if there was any way for the user to know how long it took for them to complete the quiz, kind of like a timer.

The latest version I have has a timer function but I didn’t bother releasing it. Now that you reminded me, I updated the post to include it.

Hi, I’m also a Java hobbyist. Your blog is really good. I’m a BS IT student from the Philippines and I’ve been doing simple student projects here. Right now I have a client that needs Math Test Generator Application, after a few seconds with Google, I found your blog.
The client sent me a link to this shareware commercial application, http://www.kutasoftware.com/trial.html
after trying it, I figured out that I can’t make this one by myself. The client said that their department is gonna propose this project for their school usage and he was looking for a low-budget project.
I’m looking forward making a real professional Java application that we can use it for our portfolio. What do you say, are you interested?
