854 Appendix A: Functions and Instructions
Each solution variable starts at its guessed value if
there is one; otherwise, it starts at 0.0.
Use guesses to seek additional solutions one by
one. For convergence, a guess may have to be
rather close to a solution.

Sorts the elements of the first argument in
ascending order.
If you include additional arguments, sorts the
elements of each so that their new positions match
the new positions of the elements in the first
argument.
All arguments must be names of lists or vectors. All
arguments must have equal dimensions.

must be of dimension 3 and can be either a
row or a column vector.

4Sphere
is a display-format instruction, not a

startTmr() CATALOG
startTmr() ⇒
integer
Returns the current value of the clock in its integer
representation, giving the
starttime
for a timer. You
can enter the
starttime
as an argument in
checkTmr()
to determine how many seconds have
elapsed.
You can run multiple timers simultaneously.
Note: See also
checkTmr()
and
timeCnv()
.
