Dear all

i feel I can not do iteration x(h,i+1)=x(i)+h in Mathcad Prime
x1=2

N(h)=5/h

i(h)=1,...N(h)
x(h,i+1)=x(i)+h  (Error this point)

Thank you

    Maybe you can find here something you can use (still assuming you are looking for a result vector):

    You cannot define a function with one of the formal parameters being an expression. 

    Try

    x(h, i):=x (h, i-1)+h

     

    Success!

    And also x(h, i(h)):=x (h, i-1)+h

    Seems that you try to create a vector and are assuming ORIGIN=1.

    You are using x as a function with two arguments (h,i) in one place, but then as a function of only one argument in another.

    Are you looking for something like the following. If you are just interested in the last value, you can simply delete the last line (x) but of course the last value could be calculated more simply and direct.

    I prefer like this

    x1=2

    N(h)=5/h

    i(h)=1,...N(h)
    x(h,i+1)=x(i)+h ( x is a function have h as a variable and i also  have h as a variable)

    And the answer I need x(i+1,h)
