functions from the MTH menu. Specifically, you can use functions for list
operations such as SORT,

ΣLIST, etc., available through the MTH/LIST menu.

As additional programming exercises, and to try the keystroke sequences listed
above, we present herein three programs for creating or manipulating lists. The
program names and listings are as follows:

LISC:
«

n x

«

1 n FOR j x NEXT n

LIST

» »

CRLST:
«

st en df

«

st en FOR j j df STEP en st - df / FLOOR 1 +

LIST

» »

CLIST:
«

REVLIST DUP DUP SIZE 'n' STO

ΣLIST SWAP TAIL DUP SIZE 1 - 1

SWAP FOR j DUP

ΣLIST SWAP TAIL NEXT 1 GET n LIST REVLIST 'n'

PURGE

»

The operation of these programs is as follows:

(1) LISC: creates a list of n elements all equals to a constant c.

Operation: enter n, enter c, press

@LISC

Example: 5 ` 6.5 `

@LISC creates the list: {6.5 6.5 6.5 6.5 6.5}

(2) CRLST: creates a list of numbers from n

1

to n

2

with increment

Δn, i.e.,

{n

1

, n

1

+

Δn, n1+2⋅Δn, … n

1

+N

⋅Δn }, where N=floor((n

2

-n

1

)/

Δn)+1.

Operation: enter n

1

, enter n

2

, enter

Δn, press @CRLST

Example: .5 `3.5 `.5 `

@CRLST produces: {0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5}

(3) CLIST: creates a list with cumulative sums of the elements, i.e., if the original

list is {x

1

x

2

x

3

… x

N

}, then CLIST creates the list:

Operation: place the original list in level 1, press

@CLIST.

Example: {1 2 3 4 5} `

@CLIST produces {1 3 6 10 15}.
