[NTG-context] how to compute the sum of numbers

2010-05-11 Thread Jan Pohanka

Hello,
I'm preparing a simple template for exam tests. I have following commad.

\question{3}{text text text}

where firtst parametr stands for points.

I'd like to compute the sum of points to be used as Total points: xx

What is the correct approach to do that if I'm using MKII?

greetings Jan

Thank you,
I have an additional question. Is it possible to have the sum available  
before the \question commands?

I mean

Total points: \the\totalpoints % or something like that

\question{5}{text text}
\question{3}{text text}
\question{1}{text text}

greetings,
Jan

This is what I would do (but I suspect Wolfgang can come up
with something cleaner):


\def\startquestions
  {\newcount\totalpoints}

\def\stopquestions
  {\expanded{\reference[totalpoints]{\the\totalpoints}}}

\def\question#1#2{\global\advance\totalpoints #1\relax #2\par}

\starttext
Total points: \in[totalpoints]

\startquestions
\question{5}{text text}
\question{3}{text text}
\question{1}{text text}
\stopquestions
\stoptext
