v1.0-beta

I consider this release to be feature complete: you can tweak most of the settings, and print just the math problems.

Enjoy!

Feature added: only the worksheet (the math problems) are printed, and not the configuration (or debugging messages, if activated).

This has only been tested on Firefox 46.0.1 on Xubuntu 15.10, but it now does everything I wanted it to do to be (what I consider) feature complete. Given that my only assurance is "works for me!" (groan, sorry), this should be considered beta quality.

Anomaly remains: if you select "Same values in a different order" that's what happens (top numbers are scrambled, and bottom numbers are independently scrambled), regardless of the setting "Should top number always be larger than bottom number?". In other words, Scramble doesn't respect TopBigger. In many cases, just press "Same values ..." again to see if randomness worked the way you wanted the next time.

v0.5-alpha

Bug fix: fresh random numbers are actually generated when requested.

HOWEVER! Anomaly detected: if you select "Same values in a different order" that's what happens (top numbers are scrambled and bottom numbers are scrambled), regardless of the setting "Should top number always be larger than bottom number?". In other words, Scramble doesn't respect TopBigger. In many cases, just press "Same values ..." again to see if randomness worked the way you wanted the next time.

Still a feature request: only print the worksheet, not the configuration. I expect http://stackoverflow.com/questions/468881/print-div-id-printarea-div-only will handle it.

v0.4-alpha

The configuration options can now be changed within the web browser used to generate, view, and print the worksheet (no requirement to edit the text of the file). User can require that the top number be larger than the bottom number, so that subtraction answers are always positive.

Administrivia: Javascript moved to the bottom so that it can reference the HTML elements, and a debug mode has been added (but isn't a configuration option since I suspect my brief notes would be more confusing than helpful).

HOWEVER!
Bug detected: if you configure MORE problems than the original set, a new set of random numbers isn't generated so you see undefined and NaN. I'd like fresh random numbers each time (or at least the option for fresh random numbers; reuse has a place too).

v0.3-alpha

This release is still essentially jmrker's work at http://www.codingforums.com/javascript-programming/184125-creating-math-sheet-generator.html now with random numbers from http://stackoverflow.com/a/1527834 too. The random numbers are selected within a configurable range (both upper and lower limits). Also configurable is the number of columns per worksheet. You do have to edit the file to change the configuration, though.

Features added: select random numbers within a configurable range, also configure number of columns per page/worksheet.

http://stackoverflow.com/a/1527834
var randomnumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * (maximum - minimum + 1)) + minimum;

v0.2-alpha

I refactored a single variable, but no substantive change from the work of jmrker. See http://www.codingforums.com/javascript-programming/184125-creating-math-sheet-generator.html

v0.1-alpha

This is the initial release of the Basic Math Worksheet Generator, unmodified from (and with all thanks to) jmrker. See http://www.codingforums.com/javascript-programming/184125-creating-math-sheet-generator.html
