No TeX is allowed in the code portion of a TeX question, especially in the definition of answer units. To avoid errors, spell out units that require more complicated symbols, like degrees, percents, etc. |
Javascript (JS)
A Javascript question will be defined like a Javascript function: function js_answer() { }. All code you write in this section must be contained in the function brackets. When using Javascript in the code portion of a TeX question, take special notice of semicolons and matching opening and closing braces {}. Like any Javascript code, each statement must end in a semicolon and all functions, loops, and conditional statement blocks must begin and end in curly braces.

Javascript (JS) is one of the coding languages used in the code box for Tex & (C/JS) or html+JS. If you're unfamiliar with this language here are a few primers:
- Codecademy’s Introduction to JavaScript is a great place to get started.
- This JavaScript CheatSheet is really useful when you just need a refresher on concepts.
C
When writing the coding portion of the question in C, begin with "void answer(void) { }" and insert all code between the curly braces. Any variables you want to reference in the TeX portion of the problem must be defined as follows: /* global (insert type) (insert name) */ (without the parentheses). You can also specify units you want to be displayed after the variable by typing "u={type}" where type can be m, kg, etc. The rest of the problem can then be coded like a normal C program.
