Syntax

Description

string sigfig(double x,

int numSigFigs, Boolean

forceNumSigFigs)

Creates a string version of the argument, x, that has numSigFigs significant digits. If forceNumSigFigs is TRUE, then the string
returned will have exactly numSigFigs significant digits (even if the function has to randomly create some digits). If
forceNumSigFigs is FALSE, then the function will return a string that has numSigFigs significant digits or less.

EXAMPLE

sigfig(12362, 3, FALSE)

will return 12400

sigfig(2.14, 5, TRUE)

will return 2.1400

sigfig(1400, 4, TRUE)

might return 1427

double sin(double x)

Computes the sine of the argument, x. The angle is specified in radians. Values are returned in the range -1 to 1 inclusive.

double sinh(double x)

Computes the hyperbolic sine of the argument, x.

string smixfracs(double

numer, double denom)

After reducing the fraction numer / denom, this function will return a string as either a whole number, or a fraction in the form
"whole/numer/denom". When displayed, this function will draw a small stacked fraction if necessary. If denom is 0, the function
will return "0".

EXAMPLE

smixfracs(22, 6)

will return

smixfracs(2, 6)

will return

list sort(Boolean

sortAscending, double

arg1, double arg2, ...)

- or -

list sort(Boolean

sortAscending, list

dataList)

This function will sort the list of arguments. All of the arguments must be numeric (or the list must have been composed of only
numeric data). Function will return a list that can be used as an argument for choose( ).

sort(TRUE, 1, 14, 3.2, 6, 9) will return 1, 3.2, 6, 9, 14

- or -

listOfData = list(12, -3, 5)

sort(FALSE, listOfData)

will return "12, 5, -3"

double sqr(double x)

Computes the positive square root of the argument, x. The argument must be greater than or equal to zero.
