Appendix A: Functions and Instructions 881
Each solution variable starts at its guessed value
if there is one; otherwise, it starts at 0.0.
Use guesses to seek additional solutions one by
one. For convergence, a guess may have to be
rather close to a solution.

Sorts the elements of the first argument in
ascending order.
If you include additional arguments, sorts the
elements of each so that their new positions
match the new positions of the elements in the
first argument.
All arguments must be names of lists or vectors.
All arguments must have equal dimensions.

startTmr() CATALOG
startTmr()
integer
Returns the current value of the clock in its
integer representation, giving the
starttime
for a
timer. You can enter the
starttime
as an argument
in
checkTmr() to determine how many seconds
have elapsed.
You can run multiple timers simultaneously.
Note: See also
checkTmr() and timeCnv().
