List Functions These functions are for list data stored in list variables. See

chapter 7, Using Lists.

Loop Functions The loop functions display a result after evaluating an

expression a given number of times.

ITERATE Repeatedly (the specified

dimes')

evaluates an

expression

in

terms of

variable.

The value for

variable

is updated each time,

starting with

initialvalue.

ITERATE

{

expression, variable

,

initialvalue, ^imes)

RECURSE

Provides a method of defining a sequence without using the

Symbolic view of the Sequence aplet.

RECURSE

{sequencename, term-n, terml, term2)

Example: RECURSE ( U , u (N-1) *N, 1 , 2 ) {{ST0^}}U1 (N)

This produces the factorial

ui(

1 ) = 1

U l ( 2 ) = 2

U 1 ( N ) = U 1 ( N - 1 ) * N

2

Summation. Finds the sum of

expression

with respect to

variable

from

initialvalue

to

finalvalue.

2 (

variable=initialvalue, finalvalue, expression

)

Example:2(C=l, 5,C^) returns55.

Matrix

These functions are for matrix data stored in matrix variables.
