        user_solution = get_user_solution(problem)
        count = check_solution(user_solution, solution, count)
        return count


def display_result(total, correct):
    if total > 0:
        result = correct / total
        percentage = round((result * 100), 2)
    if total == 0:
        percentage = 0
    print("You answered", total, "questions with", correct, "correct.")

    display_separator()

    option = get_user_input()

    while option != 5:
        total = total + 1
        correct = menu_option(option, correct)
        option = get_user_input()

    print("Exit the quiz.")
    display_separator()
    display_result(total, correct)
