Lists on the TI-86
A list is a set of real or complex elements, as in {5, L 20,13,9} . On the TI -86, you can:
♦
Enter a list directly in an expression (page 153)
♦
Enter a list and store it to a list name (variable) (page 154)
♦
Enter a list name in the list editor (page 156), and then enter elements directly or use an
attached formula to generate them automatically (page 161)
♦
Collect data with the Calculator-Based Laboratory™ (CBL 2™/CBL™) or Calculator-Based
Ranger™ (CBR) and store it to a list name on the TI
-86 (Chapter 18)
♦
Create lists dynamically using the LIST OPS menu item seq (page 159)
On the TI -86, you can use a list:
♦
As a set of values for an argument in a function to return a list of answers (Chapter 1)
♦
As part of an equation to graph a family of curves (Chapter 5)
♦
As a set of statistical data to analyze with statistical functions and plot on the graph
screen (Chapter 14)

The length and number of
lists you can store in the
TI

memory capacity.
If you enter more than one
list in an equation or
expression, all lists must
have the same number of
elements.
