Control (programmatically) if a list exist, otherwise create it
hi all,
what's the simplest way to control (programmatically) if a list exist, otherwise create it (then edit it with EDITLIST)?

thank you

Hi Salvo,
Maybe you can use the length command to determine if a list is already created.

Code:

IF length(L1)==0 THEN
...
ELSE
...
END;

Just a tricky idea.

Success is the ability to go from one failure to the next without any loss of enthusiasm.

I'm trying with variable flows (program for IRR): if flows doesn't exist my program gives "Error:unlatch control word" ... I dunno what it means...

Hello,

look at the TYPE and SIZE commands to test if a varaible is a list (type 6) and it's size.

use Solve.SOLVE rather than fsolve for the solving of the IRR, it probably will work better in this case as it will not call the CAS.

thank you, Merci, Cyrille,
I'll try it this evening at home. If it works I'll be able to avoid to call CAS and could solve two problem in few rows of code.

EDIT: however now I'm trying with solve() and not fsolve() and it works better also with the "11 element list" (2 results, but the first, the negative one has -1 added...), however in CAS Terminal gives the message "Warning, argument is not an equation, solving ...", in Home no message.

Instead, Solve.SOLVE() works in Home and CAS, but gives only one result...

Much better, however!
