Answer types
Two levels allow setting answer types within a question: at the question level, applying a uniform input type for all answer fields, or within each answer environment. Hence a question can for instance wrap an answer of type Multiple Choice and an answer of typy input fields.
There are Multiple Choice problems of different types (do not confuse that with the type of answers): unique, multiple, yes-no, .... For details see the corresponding paragraph below.
(see Different Answer Type)
Setting the type is done by the \type{...}-command, and the position of the command determines
how it works.
Example 1 (one type for all answers fields):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | \begin{question}
\type{input.number} % set for all answers
\begin{answer}
...
\end{answer}
\begin{answer}
...
\end{answer}
\end{question}
|
Example 2 (possibly different types for each answer):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 | \begin{question}
\type{input.generic} % optional
\begin{answer}
\type{input.number} % this answer has to be a number
...
\end{answer}
\begin{answer}
\type{input.function} % this answer is a function
...
\end{answer}
\begin{answer}
\type{mc.multiple} % this answer block consists of a MC-question.
...
\end{answer}
\end{question}
|
In the second example, the command \type{input.generic} can be omitted, but each answer
environment needs to have a \type{...}-command. It is not possible to set a specific type
on question level and just overwrite it for some answers.
Notice that some features like [\permuteAnswers](input.fields.md#permutable-answers) won't be available if a question has different types of answers.
