RANDMAT and RPN - Bernd Grubert - 04-11-2014 07:14 AM Hello, I'm trying to create a matrix with RANDMAT in RPN mode. The arguments are e.g. Code:
When I execute RANDMAT I get the error messagebox RANDMAT(5,2). Obviously, the 'M0' on the stack is ignored. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Regards Bernd BTW: The RANDMAT is only function where I have to specify a variable as target. This looks inconsistent to me compared to e.g. MAKEMAT or IDENMAT. Edit: Subject.

I understand that in RPN for most functions you must tell the calc how many objects should be consumed Cheers, Terje Edited formatting RE: RANDMAT and RPN (BUG?) - Tim Wessman - 04-11-2014 02:41 PM Indeed. Since RANDMAT can consume a variable number of arguments, specifying (3) will work. It isn't that "most" commands in RPN need a specifier, rather those can can consume a variable number of arguments need a specifier else they will default to the lowest number they can take.
