Composing and decomposing lists
Composing and decomposing lists makes sense in RPN mode only. Under
such operating mode, decomposing a list is achieved by using function
OBJ. With this function, a list in the RPN stack is decomposed into its
elements, with stack level 1: showing the number of elements in the list. The
next two screen shots show the stack with a small list before and after
application of function OBJ:
Notice that, after applying OBJ, the elements of the list occupy levels 4:
through 2:, while level 1: shows the number of elements in the list.
To compose a list in RPN mode, place the elements of the list in the stack,
enter the list size, and apply function LIST (select it from the function
catalog, as follows: ‚N‚é, then use the up and down arrow keys
(—˜) to locate function LIST). The following screen shots show the
elements of a list of size 4 before and after application of function LIST:
Note: Function OBJ applied to a list in ALG mode simply reproduces the
list, adding to it the list size:
