Reduce Question Point Value with Each Guess
Hello All,
I'm attempting to create a quiz in Captivate 5.5 with 26 multiple choice questions. The catch is that the more attempts it takes to get the right answer, the less points they earn for that question. For instance, if they come to the question and get it right on the first try they get 4 points. If they get it on their 2nd guess they get 2 points. If they get it on their 3rd guess they get 1 point. After that they earn 0 points.
I also need to send SCORM results to an LMS. All I need in those results is the total points scored.
I've thought of a few different ways to attack this, but neither is very elegant. The first was to create Possible Points and Earned Points variables. The Possible Points variable was reduced by the appropriate amount after a wrong guess and added to the Earned Points variable and reset to 4 after a good guess. This would have worked, except I didn't know how to have the project report the Earned Points variable to the LMS instead of (or in addition to) the system variable cpQuizInfoPointsscored.
The other way was to make as many duplicate slides for each question as there were possible answers. The only thing different on each slide would be the question point value. The person gets it wrong, they go to the next slide, which is worth less, rinse, repeat. The person gets it right, they jump to the first slide of the next question. This would work, using the system variables, but editing any questions later would be cumbersome.
This is my first captivate project, so hopefully I am just missing some easy setting. I couldn't find anything in my many searches, though. Any gurus have a thought on how to do this?
Thanks in advance for the help!
The problem is that the score for every question slide, or for every scored object (like a button) will be added to the total score. You can perfectly store the result in a user variable, but the system variable cpQuizInfoPointsscored is a read-only variable. I have been trying to explain this issue in a blog post:

Compare two dropdownlists values with each other!!!!!!
Hi ,
I have two dropdown s with some values i want to compare two dropdowns values. I have java script on the click event of the button it will compare values of drodpowns. If any redundant/duplicate value found then those values need to be deleted from the second dropdown.
function dummy()
var dd1=xfa.resolveNode(form1.Page1.State.somExpression); //path to first dropdown
var dd2 = xfa.resolveNode(form1.Page1.Dummy.somExpression); //path to second dropdown
var i =0;
var j=0;
if(State.length!= 0)//State is first dropdown
for (;i<dd1.length;i++)
for(;j<dd2.length;j++)
if(dd1.getDisplayItem(i)==dd2.getDisplayItem(j))
dd2.deleteItem(j); //deleting the value from second dropdown.
break;
else
continue;
But this function is not working properly it is taking first value of the DD1 and comapring with all the values of DD2 and coming out of the loop .There are other values in the DD1.So for that comapring is not happening.
Please help me !!!
Thanks in advance,
Bharathi.Hi,
You just need to re-initialise the j variable each time though the i loop. As you have it the second time around j will already be equal to dd2.length so will skip the inner loop.
try
for(var j=0;j<dd2.length;j++)

Passing values with each program run
Hi ,
I have a program which runs 6 days a week and updates a table.Now my requirement is to assign a value to a field for each day when the program runs every day in the week.

Need help with " Number guessing game " please?
This is what teacher requires us to do for this assignment:
Write a program that plays a simple number guessing game. In this game the user will think of a number and the program will do the guessing. After each guess from the program, the user will either indicate that the guess is correct (by typing �c�), or that the next guess should be higher (by typing �h�), or that it should be lower (by typing �l�). Here is a sample output for a game. In this particular game the user thinks of the number 30:
$java GuessingGameProgram
Guess a number between 0 and 100
Is it 50? (h/l/c): l
Is it 25? (h/l/c): h
Is it 37? (h/l/c): l
Is it 31? (h/l/c): l
Is it 28? (h/l/c): h
Is it 29? (h/l/c): h
Is it 30? (h/l/c): c
Thank you for playing.
$
This program is implementing a binary search algorithm, dividing the range of possible values in half with each guess. You can implement any algorithm that you want, but, all things being equal, binary search is the best algorithm.
Write the program so that the functionality is split between two classes: GuessingGameProgram, and NumberGuesser.
GuessingGameProgram will only be used for its main function. It should instantiate a NumberGuesser, and it will be responsible for the loop that notifies the user of the next guess, reads the �h�, �l�, or �c� from the user, and sends an appropriate message to the number guesser accordingly.
The guesses themselves should all be generated by the NumberGuesser class. Here is a diagram of the members and methods for the class. Notice that the members are unspecified. Feel free to give your NumberGuesser class any members (which we have also been calling fields, or instance variables) that you find useful. Make them all private.
NumberGuesser
NumberGuesser(int upperLimit, int lowerLimit)
int guess()
void higher()
void lower()
The constructor should take two integer arguments, a lower and upper bound for the guesses. In your program the constructor will be called with bounds of 0 and 100.
The guess method should return the same value if it is called more than once without intervening calls to the lower or higher methods. The class should only change its guess when it receives a message indicating that its next guess should be higher or lower.
Enjoy. Focus your attention on the NumberGuesser class. It is more interesting than the GuessingGameProgram class because it is a general-purpose class, potentially useful to anybody who is writing a number guessing game. Imagine, for instance, that a few weeks from now you are asked to write a number guessing game with a graphical Java Applet front end. If you NumberGuesser class is well written, you may be able to reuse it without any modifications.
I'm new to JAVA and I'm set with my 2nd homework where I'm so confused. I know how to do something of this source in C language, but I'm a bit confused with Java. This is the code me and my classmate worked on, I know it's not 100% of what teacher asked, but is there any way possibly you guys could help me? I wrote this program if the game is played less then 10 times, thought I would then re-create a program without it, but now I'm confused, and my class book has nothing about this :( and I'm so confused and lost, can you please help? And out teacher told us that it's due the end of this week :( wish I knew what to do. Thank you so so much.
Here's the code:
import java.text.*;
import java.io.*;
class GuessingGame
public static void main( String[] args ) throws IOException
BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader( System.in ) );
int guess = 0, limit = 9, x = 0, n, a = 0 ;
double val = 0 ;
String inputData;
for ( x = 1; x <= 10; x++) //number of games played
System.out.println("round " + x + ":");
System.out.println(" ");
System.out.println("I am thinking of a number from 1 to 10. ");
System.out.println("You must guess what it is in three tries. ");
System.out.println("Enter a guess: ");
inputData = stdin.readLine();
guess = Integer.parseInt( inputData );
val = Math.random() * 10 % limit + 1; //max limit is set to 9
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance();
nf.setMaximumFractionDigits(0); //format number of decimal places
String s = nf.format(val);
val = Integer.parseInt( s );
for ( n = 1; n <= 3; n++ ) //number of guess's made
if ( guess == val)
System.out.println("RIGHT!!"); //if guess is right
a = a + 1;
System.out.println("You have won " + a + " out of " + x + " rounds");
System.out.println(" ");
n = 3;
continue;
if (n == 3 && guess != val) //3 guesses and guess is wromg
System.out.println("wrong");
System.out.println("The correct number was " + val);
System.out.println("You have won " + a + " out of " + x + " rounds");
System.out.println(" ");
continue;
//how close guess is to value
if ( guess == val - 1 || val + 1 == guess) //Within 1
System.out.println("hot");
else if ( guess == val - 2 || val + 2 == guess) // Within 2
System.out.println("warm");
else
System.out.println("cold"); // Greater than 3
inputData = stdin.readLine();
guess = Integer.parseInt( inputData );
//ratings
if ( a <= 7)
System.out.println("Your rating is: imbecile.");
else if ( a <= 8)
System.out.println("Your rating is: getting better but, dumb.");
else if (a <= 9)
System.out.println("Your rating is: high school grad.");
else if ( a == 10)
System.out.println("Your rating is: College Grad.!!!");Try this.
By saying that, I expect you ,and your classmate(s), to study this example and then write your own. Hand it in as-is and you'll be rumbled as a homework-cheat in about 20ms ;)
When you have an attempt where you can explain, without refering to notes, every single line, you've cracked it.
Also (hint) comment your version well so your tutor is left with the impression you know what you're doing.
In addition (huge hint) do not leave the static inner class 'NumberGuesser' where it is. Read your course notes and find out where distinct classes should go.
BTW - Ever wonder if course tutors scan this forum for students looking for help and/or cheating?
It's a double edged sword for you newbies. If you ask a sensible, well researched question, get helpful answers and apply them to your coursework, IMHO you should get credit for doing that.
On the other hand, if you simply post your assignment and sit there hoping some sucker like me will do it for you, you should be taken aside and given a good kicking - or whatever modern educational establishments consider appropriate abmonishment ;)
I'd say this posting is, currently, slap bang between the two extreemes, so impress us. Post your solution in the form you intend to hand it in, and have us comment on it.
Good luck!

I have an imac 27 inch O SX 10.6.8. using iphoto 11 Version 9.1.5. I have scanned some photos at very high resolution with each photo being about 45MB. They're saved to desktop. How can I reduce the size of the scanned photo's they are crashing iphoto.
What format are they? Tiif? Jpeg? You can compress them with a lot of apps - including Preivew and just about any graphics editor out there. I'm not sure that 45mb would crash iPhoto thogh, are yo sure that's the cause? I know that some folks have mentioned pixel dimensions causing issues, as can color profiles.

How to create an array of ring with a different items/values for each
Hi All,
i want an array of text ring with different items and values for each text ring. Do you have other solution if it does not work?
thanks by advance0utlaw wrote:
Hello Mnemo15,
The properties of elements in an array are shared across all controls or indicators in an array, so there is no way to specify unique selectable values for different text rings in an array. It sounds like what you are looking for is a cluster of ring controls, where each control can be modified independently.
Could you provide a more descriptive overview of the sort of behavior you are looking for? Are these ring elements populated at run time? Will the values be changed dynamically? Will the user interact with them directly?
Regards,
But the selection is not a property, it is a value... I just tried it and you can have different selections. Just not different items.

Urgent: Formular question: get first/last month value with qty value
We've got a query result as the following:
Jan_2007 -- Feb_2007 -- Mar_2007 -- Apr_2007
0 --- 54 --- 0 --- 3
23 ---0 --- 12 --- 7
In the above query result,
1st row shows the sales quantity in Jan_2007 is 0, in Feb_2007 is 54, in Mar_2007 is 0, and in Apr_2007 is 3.
2nd row shows the sales quantity in Jan_2007 is 23, in Feb_2007 is 0, in Mar_2007 is 12, and in Apr_2007 is 7.
We would like to add a new column to get the first/last month value with quantity, e.g., in 1st row, the 1st month value with quantity value (>0) is Feb_2007, and the last month value with quantity value (>0) is Apr_2007. Therefore the 1st month value with qty is Feb_2007 and the last month value with qty is Apr_2007. In 2nd row, the first month value with qty is Jan_2007 and the last month value with qty is Apr_2007. But how to use formular to get the 1st/last month values with qty?

Column with dropdown with different values in each cell
Hello,
I have a Table and one of the columns contains a dropdown list (dropdownbykey). My problem is that the list of values for each drop down element is different because it depends on the value in the rest of the row cells. Obviously I need to calculate the values dynamically at runtime.
I have created a context node and linked it to the table columns, one of the attributes in the node is linked to the 'selectedKey' property of the dropdown. Then in my code I try to give the list of values to this attribute using the method set_attribute_value_set from the if_wd_context_node_info interface. The process it's explained in the DEMO_UIEL_STD_SELECTION component.
But I only get the same values for each row.
I would like to know if it's possible to have dropdowns with different values in the same column of a Table, and if so any indication of how to do that.
Best regards,Hello Javier,
unfortunately you cannot use dropdown by key if you want to have different dropdowns per line of your table.
Instead you will need to use dropdown by index, and bind your dropdown to a subnode of the table element (ensure that this is a non-singleton node).
To make life easier for yourself, I would also have an attribute in your main structure that holds the selected value of the dropdown by index - update this value on any "onSelect" action of the dropdown by index.
e.g. for a table that holds addresses:
Context Node Address:
attribute street
attribute city
attribute country
attribute region
subnode regionlist
...attribute regionkey
...attribute region_text
table - bound to node address
input field bound to street
input field bound to city
dropdown by key bound to country (onSelect event populates subnode regionlist)
dropdown by index bound to subnode regionlist, text bound to region text, (onSelect event populates address element attribute region with key field of selected element).
I hope this helps,

I can get the x values of each function to display on the front panel with no problems, but I have not been able to acquire this information from the front panel.
You use a property node to programtically retrieve the cursor values. For each cursor, first use the property Active Cursor to select (0 for the first and 1 for the second) and then the property Cursor Position:Cursor X. See the attachment.

Opening tiff image file and finding pixel values at each point
I want to open a tiff image file using java.Than i want to find out the pixel values at each point.Also if possible red,green and blue values.
please mail me answer or code if possible on mail id:
[email protected]Use Java Advanced Imaging to open the Tiff. There is
a tutorial on it. Look to the left for tutorials, look
for JAI, do what it says.
For getting the pixels, do this:
Use a PixelGrabber to get pixels in array:
int[] pixels = new int[w * h];
PixelGrabber pg = new PixelGrabber(img, x, y, w, h, pixels, 0, w);
pg.grabPixels();
Use a MouseMotionListner for
mouseMoved(MouseEvent moueEvent)
pixel = pixels[mouseEvent.getX() + (mouseEvent.getY()*width)]
int alpha = (pixel >> 24) & 0xff;
int red = (pixel >> 16) & 0xff;
int green = (pixel >> 8) & 0xff;
int blue = (pixel ) & 0xff;
Look up the API for MouseMotionListener, PixelGrabber, etc... -

Count all values with a special WHERE clause in a select for a group?
Hello,
I have the following table1:
code, month, value
*1,1,40*
*1,2,50*
*1,3,0*
*1,4,0*
*1,5,20*
*1,6,30*
*1,7,30*
*1,8,30*
*1,9,20*
*1,10,20*
*1,11,0*
*1,12,0*
*2,1,10*
*2,2,10*
*2,3,20*
*2,4,20*
*2,5,20*
*2,6,30*
*2,7,40*
*2,8,50*
*2,9,20*
*2,10,20*
*2,11,20*
*2,12,20*
This is a table with 3 columns, first column is a code, second one is the number of month, third one is a value.
Now I want to select the records for each code. For example all records for code=1.
I want to count how much values=0 for this code=1. After this counting I want to update the value with this count of 0.
For my example:
For code 1 there are 4 fields with value 0. Therefore I want to update all values of code1 to 4.
For the second code=2 there are no value=0. Therefore I want to update the values of code2 to 0.
This should be the result:
code, month, value
*1,1,4*
*1,2,4*
*1,3,4*
*1,4,4*
*1,5,4*
*1,6,4*
*1,7,4*
*1,8,4*
*1,9,4*
*1,10,4*
*1,11,4*
*1,12,4*
*2,1,0*
*2,2,0*
*2,3,0*
*2,4,0*
*2,5,0*
*2,6,0*
*2,7,0*
*2,8,0*
*2,9,0*
*2,10,0*
*2,11,0*
*2,12,0*
My question is:
Is there any possibility in oracle to count in a select (or in a insert/update statement) all values=0 for one group (in this example named CODE) and do an update in the same statement for this group?
Hope anyone can give me a hint if this is possible?
Thanks a lot.

'Genius' related question for anyone with over 1.2TB of music?
Anyone out there with a iTunes library with over 1.2TB of music?
Reason I ask, is that I've not been able to solve a problem in updating Genuis - I'm getting the error - 'Genius results can't be updated right now. There is not enough memory available ~ Please try again later.' or the 'unknown 4002 error'. The steps I've taken to try and correct sometime back can be found in https://discussions.apple.com/message/12584815#12584815 and also shown here in sequence below.
I keep thinking this will be fixed with the next version iTunes but so far with the latest, things still the same. So looking to see if anyone with a similar size library is having similar problems and it just a limitation of the program or it's something specific on my end that I can fix.
Appreciate...
Up to this weekend I've had not issues with Genius. Worked beautifully and updated last Sunday as I have been doing every week since Apple added Genius. Yesterday I added a few albums and went to update and now getting the error of 'Genius results can't be updated right now. There is not enough memory available ~ Please try again later.' Now my library is well over >200,000 songs and only added 6 albums this time. Music sits on a external 2TB drive ~100GB free and my MacBook Pro has over 60GB open. Running latest Mac OSX and latest iTunes. Nothing new installed or changed since last Genius update.
To the points raised in this thread.
1. I've been updated weekly with a Library with over 200K songs till now with no problem. Majority is what I've ripped from my albums & CDs.
2. Deleted the albums recently added since last successful update - same result.
3. Connected directly to the network bypassing router as suggested here - same result.
4. Reinstalled iTunes program - same result.
5. Repaired permissions - same result.
Problem remains. Welcome any additional thoughts.
Question for anyone with a music library
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12584815#12584815
Ok, tried all the suggestions here yet the problem remains.
In addition what I posted above -
1) Dumped the cookies in user/library/cookies folder
2) Deleted the apple cookies found under Safari Preferences "Show Cookies"
3) Repaired disk permissions
4) Deleted iTunes Library Genius.itdb file
5) Reinstalled iTunes (with the new 10.1 version)
6) Restarted computer
7) Rebuilt iTunes Library folder http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
8) Deleted all iTunes dead tracks
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=removedeadsuper
9) Increased internet access speed
10) Removed all open "[" and '}' brackets from songs, albums & artists
10) Rebuilt my entire library from scratch!
Is there anyone out there with over 200K songs that can update their Genius? One thing I noted is the genuis.itdb file is just over 2GB. I'm wondering if there is a maximum size on this based on the error I'm getting. Any thought or know info on this?
Ok, think I may have found something here with this. I backed out all the music added prior to this problem occurring and ran the Genius update. All worked fine. I then started adding the music back little by little (running the update each time) until the problem returned. When the problem came back I ruled out the specific music added by backing that bit out, verified all was ok and added a different batch back in.
Bottom-line it appears that when my library exceeds exactly 1.208TB the problem appears. Interestingly enough it does not appear to be related to the number of songs, the size of the genius.itdb file (in fact when it was working the file was at 2.25GB - larger than what I reported before). It specifically seems to be related to the size of the overall library - when I have it for example at 1.2079 all is ok, 1.2081 it fails with this error.
I did try moving the library and related files to the external drive but same result. abavetta, I think your suggestion of this script may be a workaround for now - although from what I read, is this not the same that you can do anyway with iTunes by holding the alt/option key open start up? In fact I do have two libraries now - one with the 2TB drive which I use at home and another for 2x500GB disks I carry with me when i travel. I just reported the same back to Apple but doubt if any immediate solution will come for this. Too bad as one of the great things about having such a large library is the mixes you can generate via Genius. Anyway, such is life and will just live with this for now. I also just found this program called Tangerine! http://www.potionfactory.com/tangerine/ which creates playlists like Genius - although through a different technique I might also take a look at.Just to let all know that may be having a similar problem, what I found by accident to fix this problem.
Reset all my Home Folder permissions using the resetpassword method from the startup utility in Lion. Then turned off/on to reset Genius and cleaned out the cache folder for good measure. Finally after more than a year without, have Genius up and running again. -
Satellite P300 - 01S or PSPCCC-01S01C CPU is underclocked with each Bios update
Why is Toshiba crippling the performance of the CPU ,FSB and Memmory speed with each bios update
when perchased bios version 1.60
* internal clock speed 2001 MHz
update to Bios version 1.80
* internal clock speed 1995 MHz
crippled performance by .5 %
update to Bios version 2.50
* internal clock speed 1993.4
crippled performance by 1.95 %
* other issues fan coming on more often
intel wireless unstable
etc
in this last Bios update 2.50 a noticable drop in performance under load
I paid for >>"Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor P7350 (2.0GHz 1066MHz FSB, L1 Cache 32KB/32KB, L2 Cache 3MB)" not a 1.9 Processor
>> YOU ARE CRIPPLING THE FSB AND MEMMORY TIMINGS AND UNDER CLOCKING MY LAPTOP <<
I would like it restored to its former advertised speed 2.0GHz
The reduced speed is noticable.
everyone should check for obvious reduced performance

i am very much in favor of stability ,reliability and performance but the fact remains
that Toshiba Techs have made a conscious and willfull decision to under clock the laptop and make no
mention that the bios updates may result in processing reduction, as for the call to tech support it was fruitless
because they are clueless as to why such things happen (Corporate Denial).
In Canada there were two very close speced laptops
one for 899.00 CAD with 1.9 GHz CPU
and the one I bought 2 months ago 1149.00 CAD 2.0 GHz
To me this looks like Toshiba overclocking the laptop to get out the retail door.
its not just affecting me, it affects everyone that buys a Toshiba laptop.
I will not back down on this point. The origional advertised and paid for specs, should
be restored in an upcoming bios update. If not, then it just confirms my original
findings.
This is refered to as "BAIT and SWITCH" and the practice is illegal in Canada.
