Right-Facing Arrow Above an Expression in Mathcad Prime 10

[SS_11894517]

Hey everyone,

I've been working with Mathcad Prime 10 for a couple of months now, and I recently came across something that has me stuck. I’ve tried searching for a solution in multiple ways but haven’t been able to figure it out.

In the equation I’m working with (in reference to the attached image), there is a right-facing arrow above the expression: concat( num2str( d/mm ), "mm" )

I’d like to understand what this operator is called, it`s function, and how to insert it in Mathcad Prime 10. Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Look at the help for vectorize operator it has a video that describes it well

Look at menu Math | Operators and Symbols | Operators.  Look at lower right hand side and you will see the operator.

Vectorize Operator

Applies operators and functions element-wise to vectors or matrices.

Operands

M is a math expression.

Watch this video to learn more about the vectorize operator.

The vectorize operator affects all operators in the expression. For more information, see Example: Vectorize Operator.

•The vectorize operator performs iterative calculations without using a range variable.

•Since operations between two arrays are performed element by element, all arrays under a vectorize operator must have the same size. Operations between an array and a scalar are performed by applying the scalar to each element of the array.

Thanks a lot for the help! I’ll check out the video and go through the example to get a better understanding. Appreciate the clear explanation and pointers on where to find the operator.

Really helpful! 👍
