Mixing numbers and percentages in %or doesn't work #81

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Having something like "0.20 %or 20%" in the answer key doesn't correctly grade 
20% as correct as it's only saving the 0.20 as a number but ignoring the 20%.

This is because % is like a wildcard when querying a database (like your 
answers), so putting in 20% in the answer kay is like putting in 20 (in fact 
you could put in 201 20j or 20! and those would be correct because of the "%".  
I would re-word questions so that the student has to type in 20 and does not 
type in .20 or 20%...(....the blah blah would be (_____ percent after blah 
bah?) OR ( ______ %) OR (*Please enter answer as whole number)
Thanks
