PG problem file	Explanation
DOCUMENT(); loadMacros( "PG.pl", "PGstandard.pl", "PGcourse.pl", "PGchoicemacros.pl", ); TEXT(beginproblem);	Initialization: We need to include the PGchoicemacros.pl macro file.
@questions_and_answers = ( "Larry is one of the three stooges.","True", "\(\pi\) is rational","False", "Gandalf is one of the three stooges.","False" );	Set-up: An array in which questions alternate with answers.
BEGIN_TEXT Are the following statements true or false? $PAR END_TEXT	Instructions and Question for all parts: self explanatory.
$n = scalar(@questions_and_answers)/2; @shuffle = shuffle($n); @abc = (a..z); for $jj (0..$n-1) { $j = $shuffle[$jj]; BEGIN_TEXT @abc[$jj]. \{ pop_up_list(['?', 'True', 'False']) \} $SPACE $questions_and_answers[2*$j] $BR$BR END_TEXT ANS(str_cmp($questions_and_answers[2*$j+1], filters=>["trim_whitespace","compress_whitespace"])); } ENDDOCUMENT();	Main Text and Answer Evaluation: Shuffle the order of the questions, then use a for loop to generate one question and answer for each pair in the array @questions_and_answers.
