PG problem file Explanation

Problem tagging data

Problem tagging:

DOCUMENT();

loadMacros(
"PGstandard.pl",
"MathObjects.pl",
"parserRadioButtons.pl",
);

TEXT(beginproblem());

Initialization:

Context("Numeric");

$radio = RadioButtons(
  ["Red","Blue","Green","None of these"],
  "Blue", # correct answer
  last => ["None of these"], # can be a list
);

Setup: The context is not really necessary, but multiple choice questions are often follow-up questions, so we leave it in.

Context()->texStrings;
BEGIN_TEXT
My favorite color is
$BR
$BR
\{ $radio->buttons() \}
END_TEXT
Context()->normalStrings;

Main Text:

install_problem_grader(~~&std_problem_grader);

$showPartialCorrectAnswers = 0;

ANS( $radio->cmp() );

Answer Evaluation: We use the standard problem grader, which gives full credit or no credit. For other graders, see weighted graders

Context()->texStrings;
BEGIN_SOLUTION
${PAR}SOLUTION:$PAR
Just guess!
END_SOLUTION
Context()->normalStrings;

COMMENT('MathObject version.');

ENDDOCUMENT();
