Problem with a list in CAS-program

[Didier Lachieze]

The square brackets [] are used in the xcas documentation for list indexing.

On the Prime the parentheses () work well in CAS with a numerical index :

Code:

l1:=MAKELIST(1,I,1,8)
l1(3):=l1(3)+1

   

However it doesn't work in CAS when the index is a variable as it is parsed as something different :

Code:

k:=3
l1(k):=l1(k)+1

is converted to:

Code:

l1:=(k)->l1(k)+1

after a warning message "l1: recursive definition"
