Want to use probability algorithm for my web app

In summary, the conversation discusses a freelance web developer who is developing an answer filtering tool to filter user's answers to six questions. The tool works by using a server to determine the next question based on the previous answer. The developer is stuck on a mathematical issue regarding the probability of each option for the six questions and is looking for a math equation to solve it. They have found a solution using binary concepts and will implement it using JavaScript code. The algorithm uses the same logic as electronic logic gates, where 0 represents a closed connection and 1 represents an open connection. The developer has also used Vuex for state-management and will share the code on a free gitlab page for others to use in their projects.

I'm a freelance web developer and right now I'm stuck into a mathematical(probability) issue where I'm developing an answer filtering tool.

This tool works as follows:

1) There are six questions that the user will be asked
2) Based on the answer of first question, my server will decide which should be the second question. Based on the answer of second question, the server will decide which should be the third question.
3) Each question has 5-6 options values

Now, for the six questions and each question has 5-6 options, what is the probability each options on my app? Is there any math equation to find out this? Once I solve the math logic, I would easily code the same.

Ok, I have found the solution, I'm going to implement the binary concepts to solve this issue. Just like the electronics logic gates. In these logic gates, zeros means the connection is closed and one means the connection is open. Scraped this and got the js code

Here in this algorithm, I have used to same. Once the user enters one condition and the equivalent question according to the selected condition will have the 1 binary value and all the other numbers will have zero binary value.

I have used Vuex for state-management. With Vuex, only questions with 1 input will be visible all the other questions will be invisible.

I will share the free gitlab page url so that anyone can copy this math programming trick and implement in their projects..
