I’m trying to do a fun little quiz at the end of my next episode to find out which of my characters is the readers best match.
In the story “Mindreader” by @alusza.episode (on instagram) she does something similar and she tells you how to do it in her coding tip highlight.
I’m having a hard time understanding points since I’ve never used them before. I’ll post what I have so far down below!
How do I determine which character is a perfect match using points? I would really appreciate the help! 
I will be crediting Alusza as well as whoever helps me!

Hi!
You have done everything right! Now it’s time to make calculate the points.
Now you need to make a script like this:
if (CHARACTER = 1) {
} elif (CHARACTER > 1) {
} elif (CHARACTER < 1) {
} else {
}
As you can see in the place where you have a name “CHARACTER” you need to put one of your character’s names.
Then just dublicate it for other characters.
This = means that the character has to be a specific amount of points. Like BERTO=3
That means if you want to get Berto, you need to collect 3 points.
This < means that the character has to have less points than, for example, 2 to unlock another character.
This > means that the character has to have more points than, for example, 1 to unlock another character.
I hope you can understand something. But if not, check out this: https://www.dara-amarie.com/points-system

Will this work? Every character has a different value of points gained for each question answered. I couldn’t figure out how to do it with just one point per character. lol

When I try it on the web previewer it always chooses Harry even if I don’t pick any of his.
I should work as I don’t see any mistakes 
I found Alusza’s story about it. Maybe try to compare them like she did it?
For example HARRY>MBC2 this means that Harry wins.
