Lists

Create a list in the List Catalog

You can do list operations in HOME and in programs. A list consists of comma-separated real or complex numbers, expressions, or matrices, all enclosed in braces. A list may, for example, contain a sequence of real numbers such as {1,2,3}. (If the Decimal Mark mode is set to Comma, then the separators are periods.) Lists represent a convenient way to group related objects.

There are ten list variables available, named L0 to L9. You can use them in calculations or expressions in HOME or in a program. Retrieve the list names from the VARS menu, or just type their names from the keyboard.

You can create, edit, delete, send, and receive named

lists in the List catalog ( LIST). You can also create and store lists—named or unnnamed—in HOME lists

List variables are identical in behaviour to the columns C1.C0 in the Statistics aplet. You can store a statistics column to a list (or vice versa) and use any of the list functions on the statistics columns, or the statistics functions, on the list variables.
