Adding Computer Science Questions

[jdwilkin4]

developerquiz.org currently has over 600 quiz questions. We are looking to expand on the Computer Science questions and we encourage other developers to add their quiz questions to the site.

You can find the complete list of questions below. https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/Developer_Quiz_Site/blob/main/src/data/general-cs-quiz.ts

You can add your own questions to the top of that file. Please first check to make sure your question doesn't already exist in the file.

Here is an example of one of the current CS questions.

 {
    Question: "Which one of these is NOT a common time complexity equation for BigO notation?",
    Answer: "O(n14)",
    Distractor1: "O(1)",
    Distractor2: "O(log n)",
    Distractor3: "O(n)",
    Explanation: "O(1), O(log n), O(n) are just some of the common time complexity equations for BigO notation.",
    Link: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zg9ih6SVACc&t=867s",
  },

For the link field, please make sure to use a freeCodeCamp article, or freeCodeCamp YouTube video. If you choose to reference a video, please make sure to include the timestamp for the topic covered.

Here is an example of a timestamp video for BigO notation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zg9ih6SVACc&t=867s

You can read more about how to create timestamps in this helpful article.

Please note: Do not close this issue. We want to keep this issue open for multiple contributors.

Happy contributing!

Can a question like what the HTML abbreviation stands for be added to the pool of questions?

[jdwilkin4]

@a2937 I ran a search in the full-quiz.ts and there is already a question for the abbreviation of HTML on line 6566.

But the question should be modified because the current answer says
Answer: "Hyper Text Markup Language",

But it should say Answer: "HyperText Markup Language",

But in general, it is always best to check the list of questions first to see if it exists so we don't create duplicate questions.

Hope that helps!

I wanna update an distraction answer to be "Friend Function" instead of "Friend functiom" ; as soon as I can think of an proper question involving template strings.
