Name of contribution: rangen Version number: 1.3e Author's name: D. P. Story Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/rangen Summary description: The rangen package is a package that generates random integers, rational numbers, and decimal number. License type: lppl
Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The rangen package is a package that generates random integers, rational numbers, and decimal number. Actually, the package uses the lcg package (by Erich Janka) to generate random integers, while rangen builds rational numbers and decimal numbers from the generated integers. My purpose in writing this package was to be able to create random questions for the quizzes of exerquiz (part of AeB). Indeed, that is what you can do with this package: Write a quiz question based on a template (for example, differentiate $a x^{ }$ , where a and are RVs (random variables) generated with rangen), determine if the user input is correct, and display the correct answer to the question. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
