Perl Code
In the future any problems submitted to the OPL will need to have perltidy applied to them.
Macros
- Within the problem loadmacros should only be called once, with all of the necessary macros listed one per line.
- Any macros that are not used by the problem should be removed when copying code from another problem.
- The first macro loaded should be PGstandard.pl, which loads the following macros, so none of them should be explicitly loaded.
- PG.pl
- PGbasicmacros.pl
- PGanswermacros.pl
- PGauxiliaryFunctions.pl
- customizeLaTeX.pl
- The last macro loaded should be PGcourse.pl.
MathObjects and PGML
- Any newly authored problem should use MathObjects and PGML
Obsolete Techniques
beginproblemshould be removed from all problems, as it no longer performs any function.
| Obsolete Technique | Current Technique |
|---|---|
Old answer checkers (e.g. num_cmp, fun_cmp, str_cmp) |
MathObjects answer checkers |
Old text processing (e.g. BEGIN_TEXT/END_TEXT, BEGIN_SOLUTION/END_SOLUTION, BEGIN_HINT/END_HINT |
PGML: BEGIN_PGML_SOLUTION/END_PGML_SOLUTION, BEGIN_PGML_HINT/END_PGML_HINT
|
