Virtual and Real Calculator differences - hamilton.milligan@outlook.com - 06-20-2015 07:25 AM
Both Virtual and Real HP Prime Calculator Have Version 2015 4 27 Rev 7820
in Virtual Cas screen create a matrix and put
m1:=[1,2,3_(Ohm),0]
[0,0,0,1_(Ohm)]
Do the same with the Real HP Prime.
Now in Real HP Prime m1(1,1) give 1. also m1(1,3)+m1(2,4) gives 4_Ohm as expected.
In Virtual HP Prime m1(1,1) gives an error. So does m1(1,3)+m1(2,4).
Also in Virtual try m1(-1). It crashes.
In the real HP Prime m1(-1) gives an error. Invalid dimension. Also does it if m1 only contains integers.
PLEASE: Can these inconsistencies between Virtual and Real Primes be fixed.
I use Virtual a lot now to test, as it is a lot faster to do things via the keyboard.
NOTE: REALLY REALLY LIKE ANote, AProgram and AFile. Very clever.
Finally, how do you get a col back from a matrix in Home and CAS.
Thanks in advance.

Not seeing any of those issues here (see attached virtual calc and hardware screen captures):

What's your current app? If it's Spreadsheet, m1 can refer to cell m1.

Thanks. Your a gem.
A bit weird it comes back as a list when you see it as a matrix.
A big Thanks. Lesson learnt. name your variables very carefully
See image. I assumed that matrix(-1) would work with all matrixes. I.e give me then nth column.
casmatrix(1) gives the correct result for both matrixes in the CAS screen.
row(casmatrix,1) and col(casmatrix,1) give the correct result.
