Hello,
another single-pass approach, which uses the fact that you know the questions and their point "weights" in advance is to form questions into a Lua table and evaluate the total first:
----
local C = context
local tab =
{ {"Question 1", 10, },
{"Question 2", 20, },
{"Question 3", 30, },
}
local n = 0
for _, v in ipairs(tab) do local q, n1 = unpack(v); n = n + n1 end
-- Or: for _, v in ipairs(tab) do n = n + v[2] end
local f = function(it)
local q, n1 = unpack(it)
n = n + n1
C(q .. ": " .. n)
C.par()
end
C.starttext()
C("Total score: " .. n)
C.par()
n = 0 -- Reset
f(tab[1])
f(tab[2])
f(tab[3])
-- Or: for _, v in ipairs(tab) do f(v) end
C.stoptext()
----
Best regards,
Lukas
