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: unique, multiple, yes-no, .... For details see the corresponding paragraph below. Do not confuse the term "type of MC-problems" with the term "type of answers".
(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.
