Section 12: Calculating with Matrices 177

The >7 (row norm) and >8 (Frobenius norm) functions also operate as conditional branching instructions in a program. If the X-register contains a matrix descriptor, these functions calculate the norm in the usual manner, and program execution continues with the next program line. If the X-register contains a number, program execution skips the next line. In both cases, the original contents of the X-register are stored in the LAST X register. This is useful for testing whether a matrix descriptor is in the X- register during a program.
