Math functions in App lab

For several years I’ve had students develop School Help App’s as a final project for my introductory computer science class. This comes at the end of Unit 6A and I have them work in Lesson 19. Part of their app requires them getting input and writing code to generate answers to math problems. In the past students have been able to use “Math.” format to use a wider variety of functions than is available in the toolbox. For instance, last year (early 2024) I made a sample app that returned the sin of an angle input in degrees using Math.sin(A); This worked then and I believe it worked about a week ago before I set students on this work. Now it seems to be hit or miss what “other” (outside the toolbox) math functions will work. Trig functions don’t seem to work, but I got Math.pow(x, y) to return a result. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @william.warren,

If you haven’t already, I would pose this question to support. They may be able to help you figure out the issue.

Good luck,
