ExamView Test Generator 90
EXAMPLE
If we want to have the coefficients in a polynomial such as 3x 2 + 2x - 4 = 0 be represented as
variables, we would use something like v1x 2 v2x v3 = 0, change the format for v1 to
coefficient (1st), and change the format for v2 and v3 to coefficient. The result would be
correctly formatted and spaced for positive and negative coefficients (not zero)
4 Optional. When a question is duplicated, ExamView Test Generator requires that at least one of the algorithms defined
for the question is different for the new question. There are times where one or more variables need to be unique, while
others don't matter. Use this setting to mark variables which are critical to be unique across questions.

How to create or edit a new constant...
1 Enter a constant name.
NOTE
Names of constants must begin with an alphabetic character, and cannot be longer than 40
characters, and cannot contain characters other than alphabetic characters, numeric
characters, and the underscore.
The name entered must be unique for the algorithm group and must not match any of the
reserved keywords.
2 Enter a definition. Click next to the definition to display a list of currently defined constants and keywords.
NOTE
You cannot use variable names when defining a constant, but you can use pre-defined
constants and keywords.
3 Click OK to record your changes and close the New Algorithm window.
NOTE
Constants are evaluated immediately when you click OK.
How to create or edit a new user-defined function...
1 Enter a function name.
NOTE
Names of functions must begin with an alphabetic character, cannot be longer than 40
characters, and cannot contain characters other than alphabetic characters, numeric
characters, and the underscore. Function names must contain parentheses and a valid list of
arguments.
The name entered must be unique for the algorithm group and must not match any of the
reserved keywords.
