I am trying to write problems requested by middle school teachers.
What follows can clearly be done by inelegant methods, but I wonder if there is a nice way.
Problem: Fully factor 210mn^3.
Ideally to get the best kind of answer evaluator, one would like a context in which an unordered list of
numbers and letters would be accepted. Is there anything close?
Sure, the List() object produces an answer checker for an unordered list of any other MathObjects. So, for example, you could set the Context variables to be m and n and use a List() object:
Context()->variables->are(m=>'Real',n=>'Real');
ANS(List("2,3,5,7,m,n,n,n")->cmp);
Is that what you are looking for?

Greetings,
I am having difficulty using List() to as an answer field.
I have read the previous posts but the there is a subtle point I am not getting.
Because this problem set is rather long I have just pulled out the essentials
## The variable are assigned to and array...
$ot[0] = Compute("$LOTf - $bl");
$ot[1] = Compute("$UOTf + $bh");
$ot[2] = Compute("$UOTf + $bh*2");
## Then based on a conditional two possible list of answers are generated:
## The student is to list the number of outliers in a boxplot problem and there could be two or three possible outliers.
if ($wo > 2) {
$outly = List("$ot[0], $ot[1]"); # if wo = 3,4,5
} else {
$outly = List("$ot[0], $ot[1], $ot[2]"); # if wo = 1, 2
}
## Lastly I am using a weighted grader in the problem.
WEIGHTED_ANS( ($outly)->cmp, 3 );
## The problem is that the answer variable $outly is read as the number 1.
I have tried replacing List() with Compute() and all manner of quotes with and without.
Any help you can provide is most appreciated!
Thanks, Tim
Just a guess, but in:
WEIGHTED_ANS( ($outly)->cmp, 3 );
"($outly)" is a perl array with one element. If it is evaluated in scalar context, it gives 1. Did you try just:
WEIGHTED_ANS( $outly->cmp, 3 );
?
The parentheses around $outly in the WEIGHTED_ANS method are not the problem in this case. In that context they are an unnecessary grouping symbol, but Perl doesn't evaluate that to a length one list. There is something else going on in the problem code that you are not showing. The shown code should work fine. I have tested it in a minimal problem, and it works fine with or without the parentheses around $outly in the WEIGHTED_ANS call.
Thank you Glenn,
The Complete problem set that converts a List to the number one is posted below..
The condition that assigns the variable $outly is on line 225.
And yes, if I strip out every line of code so that the problem is just reporting one this one variable, then the $outly variable works for a comma separated list.
But I am at a loss as to what is causing the default value to go to the number one.
I apologize in advance for the lengthy code block.
$outly = Compute("$ot[0], $ot[1], $ot[2]"); ## will equal 1
$outly = List("$ot[0], $ot[1], $ot[2]"); ## will equal 1

Can you post that as an attachment. It never works well with cut and paste from the web browser. Html elements always seem to mess up things. It is easier for me in any case.
Sure thing Glenn,
I hope a note-pad document will suffice.

(In the middle/toward the end) of this block of code, I see:
$outly = Compute("1");
which would certainly explain why $outly is 1 :) :) :)
That has to be it!
I see it NOW!
Ugh, That was a dummy variable that I neglected to delete after the list variable was assigned.
Thank you so much and sorry for the trouble on such an obvious glitch.
Best, Tim

Unfortunately taking out that assigned variable of $outly = Compute("1");
did not fix the problem alone. I am getting an error that does not make sense for the omission of that line.

Here is another attachment, if you would be so kind as to check this glitch...

The problem is on line 226 (and on line 224 but the particular value of $wo makes it occur in the else statement). $out0, $out1, and $out2 are not defined. Should those be $ot[0]$, $ot[1], and $ot[2]?
Glenn and Alex!
Please ignore the last request!
I manage to find the error in my duplicate variable versions for $outly.
Thank you so much for the extra help on this!
