This is done by passing a \texttt{hidequestions} or \texttt{hideanswers} option to the package +\item \textit{Minimal dependencies}: Only the \textit{ifelse} package is needed.

The question counter is called \texttt{questioncounter} and its value can be accessed using \verb|\thequestioncounter|. Likewise, the solution counter is called \texttt{solutioncounter} and its value can be accessed using \verb|\thesolutioncounter|. To set the value of the question counter use \verb|\setcounter{questioncounter}{5}| and the next question would be question \texttt{6.} +\item Indenting.

When you load the package, the code would be \verb|\usepackage[hideanswers]{uassign}|. Likewise, questions can be hided using the \texttt{hidequestions} option. + +If questions are hide, then solutions are numbered.
