Specifying the Number

of Questions to Ask

Suppose you have a large question file, say 100 questions, but you want the AppletQuiz applet to ask only 25 of them each time the quiz is run. This is easy to do using applet parameters.

Example

Results

<param name="NUM_TO_ASK" value="25">

The first 25 questions will be asked (in order) from the question file.

<param name="NUM_TO_ASK" value="25> <param name="SCRAMBLE_QUESTIONS" value="YES">

Twenty-five randomly-selected questions will be asked (in random order) from the question file.
