Can a vector have arguments in its definition

[regcurry]

Attached are two Mathcad 15 M050 files.  The Test_SUBROUTINE worksheet works; however, Test_FUNCTION worksheet does not work.  I assume it is because a vector cannot have arguments?  I really want to use the Test_Function worksheet as a reference sheet in other programs.  Any help is appreciated.

A vector is not a function, so you cannot associate parameters to it. But you can define a function (with parameters) that results in a vector.

I see you're trying to create a function that does something similar to the built-in logspace() function...

That wasn't available in Mathcad 11, so long a go I created my own version, which accepts units:

It's attached. If you can't use logspace() and still want to create your own function, you can use and/or adapt my function.

Success!

“But you can define a function (with parameters) that results in a vector.”

Please explain with example.  Thanks

Sorry, didn’t see the example on my iPad...needed to scroll down.

Thanks Luc for the help.  I also recalled this method form Quick Sheets in an old MATHCAD 6.  It works as a function definition.

Thanks again.

You cannot use range variables inside a program like you do on worksheet level.

You have to use for-loops instead.

This small modification makes your function PPD work as you expected:

Werner,

Thanks much.  I thought I had done that in one of my trials...apparently not. 🤔😩

Thanks again.
