Appendix A: Functions and Instructions

randMat()

MATH/Probability menu

randMat(

numRows

,

numColumns

)

matrix

Returns a matrix of integers between -9 and 9 of
the specified dimension.

Both arguments must simplify to integers.

Note: The values in this matrix will change
each time you press ¸.

randNorm()

MATH/Probability menu

randNorm(

mean

,

sd

)

expression

Returns a decimal number from the specific
normal distribution. It could be any real number
but will be heavily concentrated in the interval
[

randPoly()

MATH/Probability menu

randPoly(

var

,

order

)

expression

Returns a polynomial in

var

of the specified order.

The coefficients are random integers in the range
ë 9 through 9. The leading coefficient will not be
zero.

order

must be 0–99.

RandSeed

MATH/Probability menu

RandSeed

number

If

number

= 0, sets the seeds to the factory

defaults for the random-number generator. If

number

ƒ 0, it is used to generate two seeds,

which are stored in system variables

seed1

and

seed2

.

RclGDB

GDBvar

Restores all the settings stored in the Graph
database variable

RclPic

CATALOG

RclPic

picVar

[,

row

Displays the Graph screen and adds the picture
stored in

picVar

at the upper left-hand corner pixel

coordinates (

row

,

column

) using OR logic.

picVar

must be a picture data type.

Default coordinates are (0, 0).

real()

MATH/Complex menu

real(

expression1

Returns the real part of the argument.

Note: All undefined variables are treated as real
variables. See also
