How can I display dates randomly selected?

bruksist

Hi,
I am trying to set a task for my experiment. I need to display a date which participants have to find its day of the week. I mean, for example you see 12.04.2018 in the screen and find the day (thursday) and write it to the screen, and it will continue. When I tried this, the experiment finished after one display.

Also I need to display equations which participants need to find answer ant write it down again.

Thank you!

Hi,

No error message? If not, then try to set up the number of repetitions in your loop table to a higher number.

Also I need to display equations which participants need to find answer ant write it down again.

Sure, but is there a problem with that? If you need help, you should give us a little more info on what is actually wrong.

Hi Eduard,
Thank you. It worked when I set loop.
In my second problem which is about displaying equations, the eq doesn't work. I mean when I start the experiment it shows all variable like that :

e.g. --> 567 ("+", "-", "x") 495

But I want it to choice one of them randomly. My script:

eq = ("+", "-", "x")
random.choice(eq)

What is the wrong?
Thank you.

Hi, Eduard,
I found a code for doing random math operator in a website and I adapted it to my problem. It works now

the code (for anyone interested):

ops = {'+':operator.add, '-':operator.sub,'*':operator.mul}
op = random.choice(ops.keys())
