Hello,
I have a tricky feature I wonder if someone made already.
I’m trying to create a questionnaire that will show random questions from a couple of lists.
the tricky part is that the questions of the main list will be determined by the percentage the user chooses from the small lists. for example 20% of the questions from list A 30% from list B and 50% from list C.
Hope I explained this feature properly.
thanks in advance!

Here’s the algorithm:
Convert your percentages to integers:
…AquestionCount=20%\*TotalQuestionCount
…BquestionCount=30%\*TotalQuestionCount
…CquestionCount=50%\*TotalQuestionCount
You’ll need to round those results. I’m not sure how it will work in terms of adding up to the TotalQuestionCount so you’ll have to play around with that.
Loops
…count from 1 to AQuestionCount by 1
\_\_\_\_\_\_insert random question from AQuestionsList as last in AllQuestionsList
…count from 1 to BQuestionCount by 1
\_\_\_\_\_\_insert random question from BQuestionsList as last in AllQuestionsList
…count from 1 to CQuestionCount by 1
\_\_\_\_\_\_insert random question from CQuestionsList as last in AllQuestionsList
You may want to scramble the AllQuestionsList or randomly insert items rather than in sequence so that you don’t just have AABBBCCCC as your question order.

you wrote a program what you want.
app have 4 list, 1 button 1, text\_Input1
L1, L2, L3 question list in database for example (A, B, C questions list)
List1 is random select question for user
text\_input1 is question amount. user enter it
i didn’t control block (if), you can add.
button click. app automatics calculate a,b,c amount question and select in lists (L1, L2, L3)
i hope app is work for you

thank you!

thank you

if users answer only 10 question, you should set a=2 , b=3, c=5.
10.20/100=2 (%20)
10.30/100=3 (%30)
10.50/100=5 (%50)
