Functions and commands

+

Addition symbol. Returns the sum of two numbers, the term-by-

term sum of two lists or two matrices, or adds two strings

together.

Subtraction symbol. Returns the difference of two numbers, or

the term-by-term subtraction of two lists or two matrices.

.*

List or matrix multiplication symbol. Returns the term-by-term

multiplication of two lists or two matrices.

List1.*List2

or

Matrix1.*Matrix2

Example:

[[1,2],[3,4]].*[[3,4],[5,6]]

gives

[[3,8],[15,24]]

./

List or matrix division symbol. Returns the term-by-term division

of two lists or two matrices.

.^

Returns the list or matrix where each term is the corresponding

term of the list or matrix given as argument, raised to the

power n.

List.^Integer

or

Matrix.^Integer

/

Division symbol. Returns the quotient of two numbers, or the

term by term quotient of two lists. For division of a matrix by

a square matrix, returns the left-multiplication by the inverse of

the square matrix.

:=

Stores the evaluated expression in the variable. Note that:=

cannot be used with the graphics variables G0–G9. See the

command BLIT.

var:=expression

Example:

A:=3

stores the value 3 in the variable A

<

Strict less-than-inequality test. Returns 1 if the left side of the

inequality is less than the right side, and 0 otherwise. Note

that more than two objects can be compared. Thus 6 < 8 <

11 returns 1 (because it is true) whereas 6 < 8 < 3 returns 0

(as it is false).

<=

Less than or equal inequality test. Returns 1 if the left side of
the inequality is less than the right side or if the two sides are
equal, and 0 otherwise. Note that more than two objects can
be compared. See comment above regarding <.
