This means that once the database has been set up, -each year you can easily create a new problem sheet that is -sufficiently different from the previous year, thus -preventing the temptation of current students seeking out -the previous year's students, and checking out their -answers. There is also an option that can be passed to the -package to determine whether or not the solutions should be -printed.

In the case of the -<A HREF="#sindiff"><TT>sindiff</TT></A> example above, the command -<code>\useproblem{sindiff}{2}</code> would produce the following: -<BR> -<BR> <I>f</I>(<I>x</I>) = sin(2<I>x</I>) - -<H4><A NAME="SECTION00060010000000000000"> -Solution:</A> -</H4> <I>f'</I>(<I>x</I>) = 2cos(2<I>x</I>) -<BR> -<BR> -whereas the command <code>\useproblem{diff:quad}{3}{0}{-2}</code> would produce: -<BR> -<BR> <I>f</I>(<I>x</I>) = 3<I>x</I><SUP>2</SUP> - 2 - -<H4><A NAME="SECTION00060020000000000000"> -Solution:</A> -</H4> <I>f'</I>(<I>x</I>) = 6<I>x</I> -<BR> -<BR> - -<P> -Suppose all the above problems are defined in the file -<TT>probs.tex</TT>, then the following code will create a -problem sheet with four questions in it: -<PRE> -\documentclass{article} - -\usepackage{probsoln} -\input{probs} - -\begin{document} -Differentiate the following functions with respect to $x$: -\begin{enumerate} -\item \useproblem{quaddiff} -\item \useproblem{sindiff}{4} -\item \useproblem{diff:quad}{2}{3}{1} -\item \useproblem{diff:quad}{0}{1}{2} -\end{enumerate} -\end{document} -</PRE> -The answer sheet can then be generated by passing the option -<TT>answers</TT> to the <TT>probsoln</TT> package. - -<P> - -<H1><A NAME="SECTION00070000000000000000"> -Selecting All Problems</A> -</H1> - -<P> -To select all problems defined in a database, in the order in -which they were defined, use the command: - -<A NAME="selectallproblems"></A><TT>\selectallproblems</TT><A NAME="447"></A><code>{</code><I>filename</I><code>}</code> -For example, suppose the problems are defined in the file -<TT>easy.tex</TT>, then the following will create a problem sheet -which uses all these problems: -<PRE> -\documentclass[a4paper]{article} - -\usepackage{probsoln} - -\begin{document} -Differentiate the following functions: -\begin{enumerate} -\selectallproblems{easy} -\end{enumerate} -\end{document} -</PRE> - -<P> - -<H1><A NAME="SECTION00080000000000000000"></A> -<A NAME="sec:selran"></A> -<BR> -Selecting Problems at Random -</H1> - -<A NAME="selectrandomly"></A><TT>\selectrandomly</TT><A NAME="452"></A><code>{</code><I>filename</I><code>}{</code><I>n</I><code>}</code> -<BR> -<BR> -The command <TT>\selectrandomly</TT><A NAME="456"></A> will select <I>n</I> -problems that are defined in the file <I>filename</I>. Each -problem is proceeded by -<A NAME="PSitem"></A><TT>\PSitem</TT><A NAME="461"></A> which is -defined to be <TT>\item</TT><A NAME="465"></A>, so the command -<TT>\selectrandomly</TT><A NAME="469"></A> should occur within one of the -list-like environments, such as <TT>enumerate</TT>. -For example: -<PRE> -\begin{enumerate} -\selectrandomly{easy.tex}{4} -\end{enumerate} -</PRE> -will result in four numbered problems, selected at random -from the file <TT>easy.tex</TT>. (The <TT>.tex</TT> extension -may be omitted.) Each problem is followed by the command -<A NAME="endPSNitem"></A><TT>\endPSNitem</TT><A NAME="474"></A> which by default does nothing. - -<P> -Multiple <TT>\selectrandomly</TT><A NAME="478"></A> commands may be used, however a -different file must be used each time. For -example: -<PRE> -\begin{enumerate} -\item Differentiate the following functions with respect to $x$: - -\begin{enumerate} -\selectrandomly{samples/easy.tex}{3} -\selectrandomly{samples/args.tex}{1} -\end{enumerate} - -\selectrandomly{samples/implicit.tex}{1} -\selectrandomly{samples/1stprncpl.tex}{1} - -\end{enumerate} -</PRE> -This will result in a total of 6 problems, numbered 1(a), -1(b), 1(c), 1(d), 2 and 3. - -<P> -If a randomly selected problem requires arguments, a message -similar to the following will be displayed: -<PRE> -Problem diff:quad requires 3 argument(s), please specify (e.g. {5}{3}): -</PRE> -Enter the required arguments, where each argument is -enclosed in braces ({ }). - -<P> - -<H1><A NAME="SECTION00090000000000000000"> -Other Commands</A> -</H1> - -The command <A NAME="PSNrandseed"></A><TT>\PSNrandseed</TT><A NAME="483"></A><code>{</code><I>n</I><code>}</code> specifies -the seed for the random number generator. For example, -if you are using <A HREF="#selectrandomly"><TT>\selectrandomly</TT><A NAME="489"></A></A>, -<code>\PSNrandseed{\year}</code> will produce a different set of -problems each year, whereas <code>\PSNrandseed{\time}</code> -will produce a different set of problems each time you -L<SUP><SMALL>A</SMALL></SUP>T<SMALL>E</SMALL>X the problem sheet (as long as you leave at least a -minute between runs.) - -<P> -The command <A NAME="random"></A><TT>\random</TT><A NAME="494"></A><code>{</code><I>counter</I><code>}{</code><I>a</I><code>}{</code><I>b</I><code>}</code> -generates a random number from <I>a</I> to <I>b</I> and -stores it in the L<SUP><SMALL>A</SMALL></SUP>T<SMALL>E</SMALL>X counter <I>counter</I>. For example, -to select 2, 3 or 4 problems from the file -<TT>implicit.tex</TT>: -<PRE> -\newcounter{numproblems} -\begin{enumerate} -\random{numproblems}{2}{4} -\selectrandomly{implicit.tex}{\value{numproblems}} -\end{enumerate} -</PRE> -(Note the use of <TT>\value</TT><A NAME="498"></A>.) - -<P> -This command can also be used to generate random values for -problems that take arguments. Consider the problem <A HREF="#diff:quad"><TT>diff:quad</TT></A> -defined earlier. Three counters can be defined to represent the -three coefficients: -<PRE> -\newcounter{A} -\newcounter{B} -\newcounter{C} -</PRE> -Random values can now be assigned to these counters: -<PRE> -\random{A}{-5}{5} -\random{B}{-5}{5} -\random{C}{-5}{5} -</PRE> -Finally, the problem can be used (note the use of <TT>\arabic</TT><A NAME="505"></A>): -<PRE> -\useproblem{diff:quad}{\arabic{A}}{\arabic{B}}{\arabic{C}} -</PRE> - -<P> -The command -<A NAME="doforrandN"></A><TT>\doforrandN</TT><A NAME="510"></A><code>{</code><I>n</I><code>}{</code><I>cmd</I><code>}{</code><I>list</I><code>}{</code><I>text</I><code>}</code> will apply -<I>text</I> for a random selection of <I>n</I> items in the -comma separated <I>list</I>. In each iteration the list -item is denoted by <I>cmd</I>. For example, suppose you -have three files called <TT>file1.tex</TT>, -<TT>file2.tex</TT> and <TT>file3.tex</TT>, and you want to -select 1 problem from two of the three files, then you can -do: -<PRE> -\doforrandN{2}{\file}{file1,file2,file3}{\selectrandomly{\file}{1}} -</PRE> -Note that it is also possible to do -<PRE> -\newcounter{numproblems} -\random{numproblems}{1}{3} -\selectrandomly{file\arabic{numproblems}}{1} -\random{numproblems}{1}{3} -\selectrandomly{file\arabic{numproblems}}{1} -</PRE> -however there is a possibility that the same file may be -selected twice which will cause an error. - -<P> -The command <A NAME="showanswers"></A><TT>\showanswers</TT><A NAME="515"></A> will show the solutions from -that point on. May be localised by placing within a group. - -<P> -The command <A NAME="hideanswers"></A><TT>\hideanswers</TT><A NAME="520"></A> will hide the solutions from -that point on. May be localised by placing within a group. - -<P> -The solution is placed inside the solution<TT>solution</TT> -environment. By default this environment simply does -<code>\paragraph{\solutionname:}</code> at the start, where -<A NAME="solutionname"></A><TT>\solutionname</TT><A NAME="526"></A> -has the value: Solution. See the file <TT>sample3.tex</TT>, which -comes with this package, for an illustration of how to -customise the way in which the randomly selected problems are -displayed. This sample file randomly selects multiple choice -problems stored in the file <TT>tabmchoice.tex</TT>, and displays them -in a longtable <TT>environment</TT>. - -<P> -The boolean variable <TT>showanswers</TT> is defined to be -true if the answers are shown and false otherwise. You can -therefore do something like: -<PRE> -\ifthenelse{\boolean{showanswers}}{\textbf{Solution Sheet}}{} -</PRE> -and <B>Solution Sheet</B> will be printed only if the -answers are displayed. (For more information on -<TT>\ifthenelse</TT><A NAME="531"></A> and <TT>\boolean</TT><A NAME="535"></A> see the -documentation for the <TT>ifthen</TT> package by -David Carlisle.) - -<P> -The <TT>showanswers</TT> switch can also be used within the definition -of a problem, if you want the question to appear differently if the -solution is displayed.
