Prompt

The goal is for the program to be able to guess the user's political party before they reach the end of the survey. This will require your program to gather a substantial amount of data before it can make accurate guesses.

$1.$ You should begin by presenting the user with questions that contain answer options that differ based on their political beliefs.

$2.$ The last question should ask which political party they affiliate with. This way you will be able to gather and store data corresponding to the results you acquire. Create at least $4$ political party storages.

$3.$ As you gain more data on each political party, you should have a way of storing this information to create a program that will use this data to accurately survey users and guess their political affiliations.

$4.$ Some answers to questions correspond with more than one political party. Find a way to make your program advanced enough so that it can weigh answers with differing levels of intensity depending on which parties they correspond best with.

$5.$ Overall, you will prepare data storage files, obtain and store data through the usage of questions, and then write code using machine learning to create a survey that will accurately guess a user's political party before they complete the survey.
