makearray()

Creates an array of real, complex or string values

Syntax
makearray(Type, A1, A2..)

Name	Description	Range	Type	Required
Type	array type 1:real, 2:complex or 3:string	[1, 3]	integer	yes
A1,A2, .	Values in the array	(-∞, ∞)	real, complex or string	yes
Array	Array from which the sub-array is to be created		real, complex or string array	yes
StartIndex	Start index of the array	[1, ∞)	integer	yes
StopIndex	Stop index of the array	[1, ∞)	integer	yes

Examples

rA = makearray(1, 1, 2.0, 3.0)
returns an array of three real numbers
cA = makearray(2, 2, 1+j*1, 2+j*2)
returns an array of three complex numbers
sA = makearray(3, "One", "Two")
returns an array of 2 strings
sub_A = makearray(rA, 1, 2)
returns a sub-array containing (1.0, 2.0)

Notes/Equations

This function creates an array of real, complex, or string data type. There are two ways that the function can be used.

• In the first syntax listed above, the individual entries in the array are specified. The array must have a minimum of one value. In a real array, the values can either be integers or real. In this case, the returned array is of type real. In a complex array, the individual array entries can be integer, real, or complex. In this case, an array with complex data type is created.
• In addition to the syntax mentioned above, the following syntax can also be used to extract a subarray out of an existing array.
  makearray(Array, StartIndex, StopIndex)
  In this case, the StartIndex must be greater than 1 and less than or equal to the number of entries in the existing array.
