Bogus Array

[AlvaroDíaz]

Is this Bogus Array documented anyhwere? What is it? Can have two columns or only one?

Regards. Alvaro.

Ah, the list form of array initialization. It's obsolete, archaic, and not supported by the symbolic processor. I suggest not using it at all.

Alvaro,

The "Bogus array" is documented somewhere in Mathasoft, where ? It has lot of character and very useful per type of project as a "collector of items" and processing these items. In fact, it is a functionality previous to the introduction of the programming and at the time Mathcad conquered the DSP community. The most obvious example is the time series smoothing and finite differences integration and lot more iterative applications [from recollection: Valery Sunday cake].

Jean,

Have you any idea how the Bogus Array was created?

Mike,

What I call "Bogus Array" does not correspond to what you have seen from other collabs. The *.gif above is created from the matrix drop down menu. The other style was natural in Mathcad 8, but really not usable like selecting the entire vector at once, so that I had abandoned and don't recall. It could be the Bogus array was a left over from the first Mathcad DOS ?

Interesting Alvaro,

you have revived this utility.

In fact, a superb project collector.

Thank, Jean
