programming tutorial task 3-1 for prime 3.1

[ruddin]

I have a very basic question. the for loop example in programming tutorial task 3-1 for prime 3.1 does not work as stated. What is wrong?

Hello Robert,

which example do you mean?

can you post a worksheet- my Help-Function does not work.

best regards

The German help is broken in my installation, too. I often don't see any pictures. Switching the language of the help to English cures that problem - c*r*a*p!. Looks and feels like a program written by a few unexperienced highschool youngsters.

Here is a picture of that page:

That is the correct task. I attached my worksheet showing the result I received. I am sure I am missing something very basic.

Volker,

my worksheet is attached in my previous reply. I typed in i as a subscript. That is what caused the problem. I should have selected subscript, then the [ key then typed the i on vec variable. The example is the one posted by Werner E.

We don't see what you have done and you don't explain in which respect that program does "not work as stated". So we can hardly explain whats wrong.

Maybe you changed the value of ORIGIN from default 0 to 1 - this would make the program fail with an error.

Otherwise we would need more information and at best the worksheet you created as attachment.

I agree we need more info.

A possible common error is using literal subscripts (Ctrl+-) instead of a matrix index ([).

That is exactly what I did. Is there a manual for prime 3.1. There is a lot left unsaid in the tutorials.

So far PTC hasn't put together a manual (like we used to have for Mathcad 11). But they do provide an installation guide, a list of keyboard short-cuts and a migration guide (apart from a brochure and a what's new document. All very handy if you experienced in Mathcad.

I'm afraid Prime software has to mature a lot further before someone will (be willing to) write a book about it.
