Web Program question from a noob O.o

OK so i don't know if this is posting in the best place to reach my answer but i have a simple question. I am creating a website and a part of that site i want to implement a program that essentially is a multiple choice, Q & A, ending in the designated answer. I did programming in middle school for a semester, that program was Pascal (a 100 floppy disc program XD). I remember something to the effect of, if a then it will cause this response, etc. So I'm really hoping that my biggest problem will be all the data entry...

I hope that makes sense....lol.

any guidance or direction is greatly appreciated.

thanks

What programming environment are you using? What programming language?

Ah man im at the very very starting range. i might have to hire out. what would you rec using?

There are SO many different types of coding but is there a name for what im doing?

There are many languages to choose from. What type of computer do you have? Is it a PC, a Mac, Linux based?

Since you are on Windows you might be interested in developing a website using C#.

You'll need a compiler and debugger. Microsoft has an excellent one in Visual Studio 2017 Community edition. It's a free download:

Next, you'll need an online tutorial on creating a web site:

Thank you so much! Really appreciate the help. I'll post on my updated :)

I don't know whay WebMD is, but understand that you can program a website in many different languages and host it using many different environments.

Trying to do exactly what a site has done is less important than learning how to program, create websites and so on in the language you've chosen.

I've offered a compiler and tutorial in C#, but that certainly isn't the only option.

Whatever language you choose, you'll need to start with an online tutorial or take a class. There is a lot to learn. Good luck.

Thank u very much. I know to a lot of you my boob questions are not worth the time. So I really thank you for actually answering and helping me on my path.

I def want to learn language. And my references to WebMD was strickly for reference as the overall ideas are similar.

I will be reading your tutorial and I will follow up with my progress.

Cheers,
