Introduction

A typing speed test application is a tool used to measure the speed and accuracy of a person’s typing skills. It works by displaying a sample text, and the user needs to type it as fast as possible. The application then calculates how fast the user types, typically measured in words per minute (WPM), and also tracks accuracy.

Objective

The objective of this project is to create a simple typing speed test application in C++ that will allow users to measure their typing speed in terms of words per minute and accuracy. The program will present a randomly selected text to the user, ask them to type it, and calculate their typing speed based on the time taken.

C++ Code for Typing Speed Test

#include #include #include #include #include using namespace std; int main() { string testText = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"; string userInput; int correctCount = 0; cout << "Typing Speed Test\n"; cout << "Type the following text as fast as you can:\n"; cout << "\"" << testText << "\"\n"; // Give user time to prepare this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::seconds(3)); auto start = chrono::high_resolution_clock::now(); // Get user input cout << "Start Typing: "; getline(cin, userInput); auto end = chrono::high_resolution_clock::now(); //…
