Interval
Consider the case that the answer to a problem is an interval or an union of disjoint intervals.
The optional TeX command \allowIntervalUnionsForInput[true] enables the option that the student's answer can be given by the union of multiple intervals.
Solution syntax
The solution is defined by a left and a right boundary , both seperated by a semicolon.
|
symbol |
| open left boundary |
( or ] |
| closed left boundary |
[ |
| open right boundary |
) or [ |
| closed right boundary |
] |
e.g. \solution{(-1;1]}, \solution{]-1;1]} (same interval as the first one), \solution{(myVar;100[}
The correct solution as an union of multiple disjoint intervals can be given by separating them with a comma. E.g. \solution{(-infinity;2],[3;infinity)} Be aware that this is only possible if the optional command \allowIntervalUnionsForInput[true] is used.
Examples
1 2 3 4 5 | \begin{answer}
\type{input.interval}
\text{Write down the interval from 1 to 3:}
\solution{[1;3]}
\end{answer}
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 | \begin{answer}
\type{input.interval}
\text{input.interval: $[1;4) = $}
\allowIntervalUnionsForInput
\solution{[1;4)}
\end{answer}

More Examples
Multiple of π as interval boundaries
If you want that the solution and/or the answer boundaries can be written as multiple of π use the command \allowForInput{pi}.
Example
1 2 3 4 5 6 | \begin{answer}
\type{input.interval}
\text{input.interval: $[\pi;4\cdot\pi) = $}
\allowForInput{pi}
\solution{[pi;4*pi)}
\end{answer}
