List operators in RPN mode - Philippe - 08-08-2015 08:03 AM
Hello,
I would like to report the following bug :
In RPN mode, it's impossible to enter one of the 4 list operators : .* .+ .- ./ without having an message error since an extra space is automatically added between the two symbols of the operator.
Firmare is 2015 06 17 (8151)
(Does a bug form need to be filled, where can i found it ?)
Thank's
Philippe

I confirm this behaviour.
Doesn't seem to matter for lists as + etc do the job.
For vectors it's a problem, as + won't add a vector to a scalar.
As to filling in a bug form, good question.
2 answers:
1 No - my answer is you've done your part & published a bug.
2 Yes - or at least you should state the relevant parameters under which the bug appeared (I have no idea what the relevant parameters are).
So the suggestion of a standard bug form is probably a good idea.

Confirmed here. The space can be manually deleted, and subsequently allow the operation to perform.

In the meantime, let L1:={2,4,6,8}; L2:={1,3,5,9} then here is a screenshot example:

It might be an idea to put the word "Bug" in the title of the thread to attract attention to the problem.

Hello,
In attachment, you will find a bug form example (in pdf format since open office format seems to be not allowed) that tries to summarize this thread. I let seniors decide if this is relevant. If ever, I also let you define the "severity" field (blocking, non blocking, ...), status field, additional fields, ...
Thank you,
Philippe

On "the list".
RE: List operators in RPN mode - John Colvin - 08-09-2015 07:28 PM
I am still unable to reproduce this bug in RPN mode. I have L1 = {2 4 5 8} and
L2 = {1 3 5 9} and enter L1 L2 * on the command line. I get the result
{2 12 25 72} with no error messages. The * operator doesn't show up on the command line because as soon as I press the * key the result appears on the stack. What am I missing here?
RE: List operators in RPN mode - Gerald H - 08-09-2015 08:07 PM
You're not using the command .* please note the point before the * these are two separate commands.
RE: List operators in RPN mode - DrD - 08-09-2015 08:37 PM
It's 'element by element' operators that are at issue. [Toolbox] [Catlg] [.] to bring up operators that error in RPN mode.
RE: List operators in RPN mode - Tim Wessman - 08-09-2015 08:41 PM
Note that in the case of two lists, * won't do anything different then .*
To the original poster, I assume you are typing [.] followed by [*] (two keystrokes) rather then selecting the catalog item, correct?
RE: List operators in RPN mode - Philippe - 08-09-2015 09:17 PM
Hello,
@TW: Yes, your assumption is correct. The selection through the catalog works correctly (no extra space is inserted). It's the sequence of the two keystrokes that doesn't works as expected.
