Example 3 – generate a list using a DO…UNTIL…END construct
Type in the following program

«

→ xs xe dx

«

xe xs – dx / ABS 1. + xs

→ n x

«

xs DO

‘x+dx’ EVAL DUP ‘x’ STO UNTIL ‘x

≥xe’ END n →LIST » » »


and store it in variable

@GLIS3.


• Check out that the program call 0.5 ` 2.5 ` 0.5 ` @GLIS3

produces the list {0.5 1. 1.5 2. 2.5}.

• To see step-by-step operation use the program DBUG for a short list, for

example:


J1 # 1.5 # 0.5 `

Enter parameters 1 1.5 0.5

[‘]

@GLIS3 `

Enter the program name in level 1

„°LL @)@RUN@ @@DBG@

Use

@SST↓@ to step into the program and see the detailed operation of each

command.

WHILE logical_statement REPEAT program_statements END

The WHILE statement will repeat the program_statements while
logical_statement

is true (non zero). If not, program control is passed to

the statement right after END. The program_statements must include a
