Using the comment Field in an Algorithmic Maple Question

The following example script returns feedback to an algorithmic Maple question using a comment in a Maple Syntax question. The system calculates the displayed correct answer using a maple statement in the algorithm statement.

Note: By default, all Maple question subtypes do not return feedback if a student response is incorrect.

qu.1.topic=Maple Algorithmic Comment Field Example Script@

qu.1.1.question=$a+$b@

qu.1.1.maple=evalb($RESPONSE=$a+$b);@

$c=maple("$a+$b");@

Description

For variable $a, the Maple randomize command generates a random number between 0 and 10.
For variable $b, the rint(8) function generates a random integer in the range 0, ..., 7.
$c holds the value of the sum
