      Description
      MoodleQuiz bug found in v3.3.1: If you enter 'nothing' by using the space bar in 'Maximum grade' in MoodleQuiz on the Editing quiz page, and then press 'Save', the page will return the error " Error writing to database".
       
      Not a big issue as an admin or manager is unlikely to do this, but would expect an "Error, numerical value required" to pop up, or for a null value to be translated to '0.00'.
       
      Step to reproduce # Login as Admin/Manager to course.

      1. Create/Add new MoodleQuiz activity.
      2. on Quiz page, click Edit Quiz.
      3. on Edit quiz, delete value default on Maximum grade field, and add a space or spaces using the keyboard space bar.
      1. Save.
      2. Observe result: error "Error writing to database".
