Help/workarounds needed for math interaction
I am creating a math interaction in SL360 - it generates random fractions for learners to practice converting to decimals. There are 2 issues for which I could use help, ideas, and/or workarounds. ...
You really can't choose the number of places without going to javascript and changing it to a text variable.
But, as long as you are in js, you can also make the input variable a text variable, which can default to [blank]. Then in js, change it to a number, do the math, and change it back to text to be displayed.
Solves your problems, but does introduce another; there is no built-in checking to insure the input is a number, so you probably have to create that, too.
Thank you for your thoughts, Walt.
I'm not too experienced with JS, but it's sounding like this may be an excuse to get better!
