 \&check\_status(\$partid) &Returns a number identifing the current status of a part. Ture values mean that a part is ``done'' (either unanswerable becuase of tries exhuastion, or correct) or a false value if a part can still be attempted. If \$part is unspecfied, it will check either the current $<$part$>$'s status or if outside of a $<$part$>$, check the status of previous $<$part$>$. The full set of return codes are: 'undef' means it is unattempted, 0 means it is attmpted and wrong but still has tries, 1 means it is marked correct, 2 means they have exceed maximum number of tries, 3 means it after the answer date\\  \&check\_status(\$partid) &Returns a number identifing the current status of a part.
