Why are their so many quiz questions that are just math?

Question

There's a ton of quiz questions which don't really test your skill in the programming language, but simply test your math skills (I still don't understand modulo.) Also, some take way too long. Don't the curators and the rest of the quiz reviewers realize that?

EDIT: It isn't the problem with the math. It's the problem wih the time limit you have.

Answer 1

Then challenge html.
It's has only few math questions.
But without math, quiz's difficulty will be increase...
At least Math has 1 explicit answer.

Answer 2

But the math question in here isnt that hard.
Just +, -, *, /, %, ** and some sqrt, floor, ceil, round, power, etc..
Those are very rudimentery math concepts...

Even sin, radius, atan isn't used in quiz.

Answer 3

5%2=1 1 is the remainder of the division.
anyway i agree with the fact of the time limit

Answer 4

I didn't miss the point. The point is why so many math quiz questions. That is because math is very important in programming and teaches programming concepts better than any alternative.

Explaining Modulo to someone who claims to not understand it felt like a better use of my time than explaining why math is prominant in programming.

Answer 5

look the concept of math is just to test ure skills to know the output of a code not more (ohh and modulos is the reminder of a division like
5%2=1

Answer 6

Just in case you didn't realize it, SoloLearn is a community of BEGINNER programmers. It's not made for the elite programmers who know everything about a language. It's for the people who are learning and need to study certain programming concepts, like the ins and outs of a certain function, not math. I do understand modulo. It really is a simple concept, easy to grasp, and I already had. I was making a joke.

Answer 7

Of course I realize sololearn is for beginners. Why do you think I am here? I started teaching myself programming less than a year ago.

If you have a way to learn or teach the ins and outs of various programming functions, without involving math.. Please, share them with the class. I still have alot to learn and would welcome new approaches.

Answer 8

You must've missed the point, Justin.

Answer 9

Take a look at the edit

Answer 10

Thing is, Legacy, I don't really know HTML that well. I don't like web development that much.
