Syntax:
sum <identifier> = <from> to <to> do <body>
sum <identifier> = <from> to <to> by <increment> do <body>
sum <identifier> in <matrix> do <body>
prod <identifier> = <from> to <to> do <body>
prod <identifier> = <from> to <to> by <increment> do <body>
prod <identifier> in <matrix> do <body>
If you substitute for
with sum
or prod
, then you will get a sum or a product instead of a for
loop. Instead of returning the last value, these will return the sum or the product of the values respectively.
Si aucun contenu (body) est exécuté (par exemple, sum i=1 to 0 do ...
) alors la convention standard est que sum
renvoie 0 et prod
renvoie 1.
For floating point numbers the same roundoff error protection is done as in the for loop. See the section called “Boucles pour (for)”.
