It is doing list processing on your input. So I dug out my Prime to check (the suspense was killing me) and have mixed results: In HOME, my guess was right, {2,3,2,3,3} so I understand that at least; But in CAS, Prime replies "when({1,0,1,0,0},2,3)", though it also adds the simplify button, daring me to pursue it further. Figuring it can't hurt to try, it then replies "simplify(when({1,0,1,0,0},2,3)) => when({1,0,1,0,0},2,3)" So, 2 conclusions - In CAS, I guess that is as simple as it gets, and I still don't understand the Prime's split personality. Can anyone explain: 1. The CAS behavior, and meaning of that result 2. Why they are different? I'd assume IFTE() works the same in both modes - there is no mention of either mode in the online help and this command is not in the manual at all. --Bob Prosperi |
