Answering php questions involving functions

Hi,

In the quiz, I am trying to input the answers regarding certain functions for custom post types, however, no matter how I write them, they always seem wrong, but if I understand the video, they should be right. e.g. The function to display a custom field should be: the_field(), right?

Am I just not laying out what is considered the full function? I've tried other iterations like including the php tags, but they don't seem to work either.

Hi folks, this was my mistake. I had the answer inserted incorrectly, you should be all set now!

In general I try to allow answers both with and withouth the parenthesis.

Yes, that should work, at least without the parentheses. I have sent feedback about the quiz saying that it is not working correctly.

Great. Thanks for doing that. Hopefully they will be able to fix it. At least from the point-of-view of the concept, I wasn't wrong about what a 'function' is. :-).
