Using MAxima I want to create 11 arrays in maxima. I am trying something like this:
for n:1 step 1 while n<=11 do( for j:1 while j<=21 do( if i<j then aa[n][i,j]:i+j+n));
This compiles fine but I can not use it how I would like. Say for example I want value 2,2 in the 5th array, I try the following but it does not work:
aa[5][2,2];
Any help is appreciated, Ben
Your code fragment is missing any loop over i or other assignment to i.
You might consider using 'genmatrix' to construct a matrix, and then a loop over n to generate several matrices. E.g.:
foo : lambda ([i, j], if i < j then i + j + n else 0);
for n:1 thru 11 do aa[n] : genmatrix (foo, 21, 21);
Then I get
aa[5][2, 2];
=> 0
aa[5][2, 3];
=> 10
grind (aa[10]);
=> matrix([0,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32],
