LIST FUNCTIONS
149
[1 sort A(] Used to sort the data in the list in ascending order.
<Example>
To sort list L1 in ascending order:
Entry: sort A (L1)
Answer: {4 5 6}
* It is also possible to sort more than one list at the same time. To do so, separate
lists with a comma (,).
Entry: sort A (L1, L2)
Answer: L1: {4 5 6}
L2: {9 8 3}
At this time, the first list (L1 ) is sorted in ascending order, however, subsequent lists
are sorted according to the sorted terms in the first list.
(All lists are not sorted in ascending order.)
[2 sort D(] Used to sort the data in the list in descending order.
<Example>
To sort list L1 in descending order:
Entry: sort D (L1)
Answer: {6 5 4}
