CAS versus HOME confusion.

You can create a string-equivalent of what you would normally use in the command line in CAS view, and use CAS(). For example: my list:=CAS("makelist(x->x^2,x,1,5)"); would work just fine. If you want something a bit more dynamic, build the string separately as a string variable, and evaluate CAS() on the string variable. For example:

Code:


LOCAL stringcmd;
LOCAL formula:="x->x^2";
LOCAL var:="x";
stringcmd:="makelist(" + formula + "," + var + ", A, B)";
LOCAL mylist;

// at this point, stringcmd = "makelist(x->x^2,x,A,B)"
// A and B are the global variables.
mylist:=CAS(stringcmd);
