Performing operations on lists
You can perform any operation on a list of numbers. If multiple lists are used in an
operation, they must be the same length. The following are some examples of simple
operations done with lists:
Operation Example Result
Addition [1,2] + 3 [4,5]
[1,2] + [3,4] [4,6]
3 + [1,2,[3,4]] [4,5,[6,7]]
Subtraction [1,7,1] – [2,3,1] [–1,4,0]
[6,7] – 3 [3,4]
Multiplication 3 * [4,5] [20,25]
[1,2,[3,4]] * [4,5,6] [4,10,[18,24]]
Division [3,4,5]/2 [1.5,2,2.5]
[4,5,6]/[2,3,4] [2,1.6667,1.5]
Simple functions [2,3]^2 [4,9]
log([1,10]) [0,1]
The above functions perform operations on each element in the list. Other functions
perform operations on the entire list—for example sum([list]). For more information
on lists and functions, see Chapter 2, “Using Functions and Variables.”
Using variables with lists
You can assign a list to a variable and perform operations on that variable.
For example:
a=[1,2,[3,4]]
3+a -> [4,5,[6,7]]
For more information on variables, see “Using Variables” in Chapter 2.
