More
%CHANGE Syntax: %CHANGE(x,y)
The percentage change in going from x to y.
Example: %CHANGE(20,50) returns 150.
%TOTAL Syntax: %TOTAL(x,y)
The percentage of x that is y.
Example: %TOTAL(20,50) returns 250.
CAS Syntax: CAS.function() or CAS.variable
Executes the function or returns the variable using the
CAS.
EVALLIST Syntax: EVALLIST({list})
Evaluates the content of each element in a list and returns
an evaluated list.
EXECON Syntax: EXECON(&expr, List1, [list2,…])
Creates a new list based on the elements in one or more
lists by iteratively modifying each element according to an
expression that contains the ampersand character (&).
Examples:
EXECON("&+1",{1,2,3}) returns {2,3,4}
Where the & is followed directly by a number, the position
in the list is indicated. For example:
EXECON("&2–&1",{1, 4, 3, 5}" returns {3, –1,
2}
In the example above, &2 indicates the second element
and &1 the first element in each pair of elements. The
minus operator between them subtracts the first from the
second in each pair until there are no more pairs. In this
case (with just a single list), the numbers appended to &
can only be from 1 to 9 inclusive.
EXECON can also operate on more than one list. For
example:
EXECON("&1+&2",{1,2,3},{4,5,6}) returns
{5,7,9}
In the example above, &1 indicates an element in the first
list and &2 indicates the corresponding element in the
