hasVariable

public abstract boolean hasVariable()

Whether this has a standard "answer" variable, i.e. whether the Question needs to call "getAnswer()" to load and save the answer. For example, headers do not have variables, short answers do. More complicated, AbstractQuestions should return false, despite having some variables -- they don't have any standard variables.

Returns:

Designed to be overwritten by QuestionWithVariable.

Overrides:

saveQuestionInfo in class Question

reinit

public void reinit()

Overrides:

reinit in class Question
