Text
Students can answer with plain text, removing any mathematical comparison. You need to select the Text answer type for pure text answers with no mathematical content.
Examples
Below you can see a use case where we want the student to classify a triangle according to its sides
Another example could ask for the conversion of a decimal number to hexadecimal.
Validation options
There are several particular validation options when we create a Text question.
Note you can set:
Match case: if disabled, lowercase and uppercase letters are equivalent.
Match spaces: if disabled, leading and trailing spaces will be removed, and internal groups of spaces will be collapsed to one.
If the correct answer is generated using CalcMe, it must be a string. To convert an expression to a string you can use:
Make a constant string:
a="123"Concatenate with a string, even the empty one:
b=123|""string(123)string_substitution("#1",123)
If you are using the string_substitution() command, it's essential to consider that mathematical expression can't be introduced through the code editor. You can find an example below:
