Think++ has many functions that can be used in the interface. In this part of the help file were all different functions can be overviewed. Think++ can implement simple and complex functions such as simple arithmetic to plotting two matrix functions in a data sequance. The functions play the largest part in Think++ and they are the vital components that will make operations functional.
The simple functions that can be implemented in the main interface are the following:
exp( arg ) – the exponential value to the power of arg.
fix ( arg ) – rounds arg towards zero.
floor( arg ) – rounds arg towards minus infinity.
log( arg ) – the natural logarithm of arg.
log10( arg ) – the common logarithm (base 10) of arg.
rand( arg(s) ) – generates random numbers. (‘rand(n)’ generates an n ? n matrix with random entries – to generate a single random number, n = 1. ‘rand(m, n)’ produces an m ? n matrix with random entries.)
ceil( arg ) – rounds arg towards positive infinity.
sqrt( arg ) – the square root of arg.
These functions are inputted in the following method described below:
The syntax to carry
out the required function, followed by the appropriate number of arguments
separated by commas and enclosed in brackets ‘( )’,
as shown above. The argument(s) may be a variable, a number, another mathematical
function or an expression containing a combination of these.
