Open src/quiz.py and run it with the reproduction steps, entering lowercase a for the first question. Update the answer handling so both lowercase and uppercase forms are accepted, then rerun the quiz to confirm lowercase a is marked correct.

Description

bug

If you type a lowercase letter like "a" instead of "A", the quiz marks it as wrong even though it is the correct answer.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Run python3 src/quiz.py
  2. For the first question, type a (lowercase)
  3. The answer is marked incorrect even though A is correct

Expected: Both "a" and "A" should be accepted as valid answers.

The bug is in src/quiz.py.
