                        Those are the basics of how variables function inside of WirisQuizzes Studio works. What's very important, though, is to know how to use these variables outside of Studio.

                        To include a variable anywhere within a question type, write a pound symbol # followed by the name of the variable (e.g. #a). So we could include the above values in a question just like this:

                        It's also possible to insert these variables in the question's feedback. Furthermore, you can use the student's answer there. Learn how to do it here.
