Hi,
i have version 2.7 and the box "Require scientific notation" doesn't work

I don't think that we intentionally changed this. Would be interestign to know for sure if this has changed, but that would require trying a range of old versions from git.

Hi,
We are using version 2014042800 of varnumeric and have a question regarding the expected behaviour.
When we hit the "recalculate" button variables are only recalculated if there are no errors in the question i.e. you need to provide an answer etc.
Is this the expected behaviour? Our users are saying this was not the case in previous versions and that recalculation always occurred (their memory may be incorrect).
Thanks in advance.

I'm having a little trouble with the functions in this questions type.
1. I would have expected the log function to give the common (base 10) log of a number since there is also a ln function supported. It appears to be giving the natural (base e) log.
2. How do I take a number to a power?. I don't see an operator or function for that in the documentation.
