moodleou / moodle-qtype_varnumeric

A new question type for Moodle - for numeric questions with variable and expression evaluation

Variable numeric question type

https://moodle.org/plugins/qtype_varnumeric

A numerical question type for Moodle where one question can have several variants with different numerical values. These variants are generated completely randomly when teh question is started.

If the Superscript/subscript editor is installed then it can be used to let students enter their answer in scientific notation, which can be checked in the grading. However, this is optional.

Acknowledgements

The question type was created by Jamie Pratt (http://jamiep.org/) for the Open University (http://www.open.ac.uk/).

This plugin requires that the Variable numeric set question type is also installed.

Timing didn't seem to relate to changes within this plugin but found this change in core Moodle that will be the cause:

supported Moodle version

Hi,

We have the plugin qtype_varnumeric (2019110900) on Moodle v3.9.14 running and just wanted to upgrade to v2.0 (2022042500).

qtype_varnumeric v2.0 requires:

• Moodle 2020061500 (v3.9)
• qtype_varnumericset (2022041100)

And qtype_varnumericset (2022041100) which is v2.1 requires:

• Moodle 2021051700 (v3.11)

Does it mean that qtype_varnumeric v2.0 does not support Moodle v3.9 any more? Or can we just ignore the Moodle version inconsistency hier?

I am not sure though if the Moodle 3.9 would allow the update in this case.
