Decimal argument for Problem numbers.

[mcoimbra]

First off, this template looks very neat, good job!

Question: from what I understood in your LaTeX code, the section count automatically increments. The counter is used for the numbering, but it is also possible to specify the number by argument when beginning a new problem. How hard would it be to enable this:

\begin{homeworkProblem}[2.2] % I AM STARTING PROBLEM 2.2 !!!
    Give an appropriate positive constant \(c\) such that \(f(n) \leq c \cdot
    ....
\end{homeworkProblem}

Thank you!

That might be covered. Does this section cover what you want? https://github.com/jdavis/latex-homework-template/blob/master/homework.tex#L517-L539

Well, that is the thing: it does not compile if the argument is a decimal number.
