I seem to have found a bug in Prime 4.0. When specifying an array of 4767 elements it stops working. But only if the program is defined as [a b]:=, it works fine if it's a:=. This picture explains it better than I can. So, I have a work around, but my questions are:
a.) It's a bug, right?
b.) Any reason why it would do that?
Thanks,
For the situation where it works. What are the values of a and b following the assignment.
(Of course) this works with no problem in Mathcad 11. But I get this:
That is: a and b are each the same set of two vectors.
Success!

I can only confirm that its a bug in Prime.
There is no problem of that kind in Mathcad 15
When I go up to 10^7 I get a "System.OutOfMemoryException".
The error even occurs if we don't create variables in the program and don't calculate anything!
I'd forgotten about this bug until it bit me again today. But what is strange is that this case works fine in Prime 4, 5 and 6. But in 7 I get the error. (don't have v8 to test)
.
Curious, but in this case it can be said that turning a range into a vector is an undocumented feature and so subject to be changed without notice.
Does the error also pops up if you create the vector in "classic" legal manner?
I can only test with P6 and, as you wrote, no error here with both methods.
Thanks Werner. Yes, the classic method works in P7. (I'm so used to the shortcut I forget about that)
