denis tamParticipantGood morning,
I have a multiple choice quiz with numerical values. Items are divided into categories.
How can I perform arithmetic operations between category results? (for example, a subtraction between the total and a category)
thanks

Kriti SharmaKeymasterHi Denise,
Sorry to say this, but this isn’t possible at the moment.

coalition strengthenParticipantAt its core, Dordle is built on a genius idea: take the structure of Wordle, but make players solve two puzzles at once. Each guess applies to both words. Each grid gives feedback independently. You still only get seven guesses total.

Taylah GatliffParticipantAs someone who’s built quizzes for my classroom, I’ve faced similar challenges with numerical calculations across categories. I found that using JavaScript functions to track selections by category worked well – storing values in variables and then manipulating them mathematically when needed. For my literature quiz, I subtracted fiction scores from total scores to analyze preferences. If you’re looking for a break after quiz building, the puzzle game Sprunki offers a refreshing mental challenge.

Jack JamesParticipantTo get a final result, calculations are performed between distinct categories—each representing different types of data or variables. gbwhatsapp These categories might interact through comparison, weighting, or aggregation. The relationship between them determines the outcome, making the process both analytical and structured, often used in statistics, finance, or data science.

jh f sdfsParticipantGood morning Denis, just like organizing quiz categories requires careful calculation, managing pests effectively requires structured planning. Professional pest control in Santa Cruz https://pestcontrolinsantacruz.com/ helps homeowners assess different pest “categories,” such as rodents, termites, and insects, and apply targeted solutions to each, ensuring complete protection.

Milo WesleyParticipantGreat topic! While exploring different online communities, I came across California Cichilds — a fantastic website for aquarium enthusiasts. It features detailed guides on cichlid fish care, breeding, and tank setups, helping both beginners and experienced hobbyists create thriving and colorful aquatic environments at home.

hysterical jeepParticipantHi Denis,
You can perform arithmetic operations between category results by first calculating the totals for each category separately. Once you have the totals, you can create a new variable or field that applies the operation you want — for example, Total Score – Category Score.
Depending on the software you’re using for the quiz, this might be done via a formula field, calculated column, or script. If you tell me which tool you’re using, I can give a more specific example run 3

Tuan ChoParticipantI’m also looking for the answer to the same question you asked last month, but so far I haven’t found a way to solve this problem. I wordle nyt would be very happy if someone here could guide me.

jones natelyeParticipantHi Denis, to perform arithmetic calculations between the results of different categories, you should check if the quiz tool supports setting up custom variables. Typically, modern platforms allow you to set formulas in the results section to calculate values based on the user’s previous selections. Setting up this logic can sometimes be quite a headache, so I usually take a break by playing drift boss right in my browser. This game is really fun and helps me regain my focus extremely quickly before going back to tackling those complex formulas.
