Sometimes however this answer is invalid, or nothing was filled in yet (that means also no valid starting value). This can be checked in the app using the <em>is.empty<\/em> command in a computation question. Some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A single choice answer that was timed out and was not filled in will return <em>is.empty<\/em> as true.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A slider question with a starting value (e.g. at 50 on a scale from 0 to 100) that was not filled in and was timed out will return <em>is.empty<\/em> as false.
