Commands are placed on a line by themselves and cause specific operations to be performed on preceding problem statements. Commands have a syntax similar to Functions. The name of the Command is followed by a set of parameters enclosed in brackets or parenthesis and separated by semicolons. Parameters may be expressions, variables, numbers, or other Functions.
The Commands are:
CLEAR (VariableX; VariableY;...)
Clears numeric values for VariableX, VariableY, ...
Without parentheses, clears all variables.
LIST (DataSetName; Variable; Variable;...)
Causes PowerMath to substitute values from the open data set (named as the first parameter) for the variables (listed as the following parameters) in the selected problem(s). After each assignment, PowerMath evaluates the selected problem(s). After the evaluation, another set of values is assigned from the referenced data set and the expression(s) re-evaluated. This continues until the all data from the data set has been substituted into the problems and evaluated. LIST is the only Command that precedes the expression(s) it acts upon.
PLOT (Expression; Variable; StartRange; EndRange)
Plots stated expression (first parameter). Variable is the independent variable. StartRange and EndRange define the range of the independent variable.
REDUCE (Expression)
Reduces Expression to its simplest form.
SHOW (Variable; Variable; ...... ) :
Displays current value of the variables listed as parameters.
Without parenthesis, displays all variables.
SOLVE (Variable; Variable; ...... ) :
Solves selected system of equations for the variables specified.
Without parenthesis, SOLVE solves for all variables.
