Lists
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}. Lists represent a convenient
way to group related objects.
You can do list operations in Home and in programs.
There are ten list variables available, named L0 to L9, or
you can create your own list variable names. You can use
them in calculations or expressions in Home or in a
program. Retrieve a list name from the Vars menu (
a),
or just type its name from the keyboard.
You can create, edit, delete, send, and receive named lists
in the List Catalog:
Sp
(List). You can also create
and store lists—named or unnnamed—in Home view.
List variables are identical in behavior to the columns C1-
C0 in the Statistics 2Var app and the columns D1-D0 in
the Statistics 1Var app. You can store a statistics column
as a list (or vice versa) and use any of the list functions on
the statistics columns, or the statistics functions on the list
variables.
