Summary
Adds two new randomizer macros for MyOpenMath:
randkeyfromandrandkeysfrom.These mirror PHP's
array_rand(), but pull from MOM's seeded random generator(
$GLOBALS['RND']) so results stay reproducible for grading/regrading, consistentwith the rest of the macros in
randomizers.php.New functions
randkeyfrom($array)Returns a single random key from an array. Equivalent to
array_rand($array).randkeysfrom($array, $n = 1)Returns
$nrandom keys from an array. Equivalent toarray_rand($array, $n).Unlike PHP's native
array_rand(), which requires[$a, $b] = array_rand(...)for multiple keys,
randkeysfromreturns a plain array so it works with MOM'sexisting multi-assignment syntax:
randkeysfromonly accepts arrays (not comma-separated lists), since listshave no keys — this differs from
randfrom/randsfrom, which accept both.Files changed
assessment/macros/randomizers.php— function definitions, added toallowedmacroshelp.html— documentation entries added after the existingrandfrom/randsfromentriesTesting
