• When you use a list and a value with a two-argument function, the value is used with each element in the list.

NAMES OPS MATH

1: SortA(

Sorts lists in ascending order.

2: SortD(

Sorts lists in descending order.

3: dim(

Sets the list dimension.

4: Fill(

Fills all elements with a constant.

5: seq(

Creates a sequence.

6: cumSum(

7:

DeltaList(

Returns a list of cumulative sums.

Returns difference of successive elements.

8: Select(

Selects specific data points.

9: augment(

Concatenates two lists.

0: List►matr(

Stores a list to a matrix.

A: Matr►list(

Stores a matrix to a list.

B:

L

Designates the list-name data type.

SortA(, SortD(

SortA(

(sort ascending) sorts list elements from low to high values.

SortD(

(sort descending) sorts list elements from high to low values. Complex lists are sorted based on magnitude (modulus).

With one list,

SortA(

and

SortD(

sort the elements of

listname

and update the list in memory.

SortA(listname) SortD(listname)

Chapter 11: Lists 168

With two or more lists,

SortA(

and

SortD(

sort

keylistname

, and then sort each

dependlist

by placing its elements in the same order as the corresponding elements in

keylistname

. All lists must have the same dimension.

SortA(keylistname,dependlist1[,dependlist2,...,dependlist n])

SortD(keylistname,dependlist1[,dependlist2,...,dependlist n])

Note:

• In the example, 5 is the first element in

L4

, and 1 is the first element in

L5

. After

SortA(L4,L5)

, 5 becomes the second element of

L4

, and likewise, 1 becomes the second element of

L5

.

SortA(

and

SortD(

are the same as

SortA(

and

SortD(

on the

STAT EDIT

menu (Chapter 12).

• You cannot sort a locked list.

Using dim( to Find List Dimensions dim(

(dimension) returns the length (number of elements) of

list

.

dim(list)

Using dim( to Create a List

You can use

dim(

with [STO right arrow] to create a new

listname

with dimension

length

from 1 to 999.

The elements are zeros.

length

right arrow

dim(listname)

Using dim( to Redimension a List

You can use

dim

with [STO right arrow] to redimension an existing

listname

to dimension

length

from

1 to 999.

• The elements in the old

listname

that are within the new dimension are not changed.

• Extra list elements are filled by 0.

• Elements in the old list that are outside the new dimension are deleted.

Chapter 11: Lists 169

dim(listname)

Fill(

Fill(

replaces each element in

listname

with

value

.

Fill(value,listname)

Note: dim(

and

Fill(

are the same as

dim(

and

Fill(

on the

MATRX MATH

menu (Chapter 10).

seq( seq(

(sequence) returns a list in which each element is the result of the evaluation of

expression

with regard to

variable

for the values ranging from

begin

to

end

at steps of

increment

.

variable

need not be defined in memory.

increment

can be negative; the default value for

increment

is 1.

seq(

is not valid within

expression

. Complex lists are not valid.

A wizard will open to assist the entry of the syntax.

Note:

seq( is the only function in

LIST OPS that has a wizard.

seq(expression,variable,begin,end[,increment])

cumSum( cumSum(

(cumulative sum) returns the cumulative sums of the elements in

list

, starting with the first element.

list

elements can be real or complex numbers.

cumSum(list)

Chapter 11: Lists 170

Delta List(

Delta

List(

returns a list containing the differences between consecutive elements in

list

. Delta

List

subtracts the first element in

list

from the second element, subtracts the second element from the third, and so on. The list of differences is always one element shorter than the original

list

.

list

elements can be a real or complex numbers.

Delta

List(list)

Select(

Select(

selects one or more specific data points from a scatter plot or xyLine plot (only), and then stores the selected data points to two new lists,

xlistname

and

ylistname

. For example, you can use

Select(

to select and then analyze a portion of plotted CBL 2™/CBL™ or CBR™ data.

Select(xlistname,ylistname)

Note:

Before you use

Select(

, you must have selected (turned on) a scatter plot or xyLine plot.

Also, the plot must be displayed in the current viewing window.

Before Using Select(

Before using

Select(

, follow these steps.

1. Create two list names and enter the data.

2. Turn on a stat plot, select scatter plot or xyLine, and enter the two list names for

Xlist:

and

Ylist:

(Chapter 12).

3. Use

ZoomStat

to plot the data (Chapter 3).

Using Select( to Select Data Points from a Plot

To select data points from a scatter plot or xyLine plot, follow these steps.

1. Press [2nd] [LIST] [right key]

8

to select

8:Select(

from the

LIST OPS

menu.

Select(

is pasted to the home screen.

2. Enter

xlistname

, press [,], enter

ylistname

, and then press [ )] to designate list names into which you want the selected data to be stored.

3. Press [ENTER]. The graph screen is displayed with

Left Bound?

in the bottom-left corner.

4. Press [up key] or [down key] (if more than one stat plot is selected) to move the cursor onto the stat plot from which you want to select data points.

5. Press [left key] and [right key] to move the cursor to the stat plot data point that you want as the left bound.

6. Press [ENTER]. A right triangle indicator on the graph screen shows the left bound.

Right

Bound?

is displayed in the bottom-left corner.

Chapter 11: Lists 172

7. Press [left key] or [right key] to move the cursor to the stat plot point that you want for the right bound, and then press [ENTER].

The x-values and y-values of the selected points are stored in

xlistname

and

ylistname

. A new stat plot of

xlistname

and

ylistname

replaces the stat plot from which you selected data points. The list names are updated in the stat plot editor.

Note:

The two new lists (

xlistname

and

ylistname

) will include the points you select as left bound and right bound. Also,

left-bound x-value

< (less than or equal to)

right-bound x-value

must be true.

augment( augment(

concatenates the elements of

listA

and

listB

. The list elements can be real or complex numbers.

augment(listA,listB)

Listmatr(

List

matr(

(lists stored to matrix) fills

matrixname

column by column with the elements from each list. If the dimensions of all lists are not equal, then

List

matr(

fills each extra

matrixname

row with

0. Complex lists are not valid.

Chapter 11: Lists 173

List

matr(list1,list2, ... ,list n,matrixname)

Matrlist(

Matr

list(

(matrix stored to lists) fills each

listname

with elements from each column in

matrix

. If the number of

listname

arguments exceeds the number of columns in

matrix

, then

Matr

list(

ignores extra

listname

arguments. Likewise, if the number of columns in

matrix

exceeds the number of

listname

arguments, then

Matr

list(

ignores extra

matrix

columns.

Matr

list(matrix,listname1,listname2, . . . ,listname n)

Matr

list(

also fills a

listname

with elements from a specified

column#

in

matrix

. To fill a list with a specific column from

matrix

, you must enter a

column#

after

matrix

.

Matr

list(matrix,column#,listname)

L

preceding one to five characters identifies those characters as a user-created

listname

.

listname

may comprise letters, theta, and numbers, but it must begin with a letter from A to Z or theta.

L

listname

Generally,

L

must precede a user-created list name when you enter a user-created list name where other input is valid, for example, on the home screen. Without the

L

, the TI-84 Plus may misinterpret a user-created list name as implied multiplication of two or more characters.

L

need not precede a user-created list name where a list name is the only valid input, for example, at the

Name=

prompt in the stat list editor or the

Xlist:

and

Ylist:

prompts in the stat plot editor. If you enter

L

where it is not necessary, the TI-84 Plus will ignore the entry.
