I am a long-time user of Mathcad. I cannot find a way to enter data into Smath. It seems range variables are not the same as in Mathcad. Do I need to enter data into a vector? If so, how do I define the vector of say 30 elements and then proceed to enter data into each of the 30 elements. All documentation provided does not make this clear. See attached image from Mathcad to see what I am trying to implement in Smath.

Thanks

Hello Regulation,

look here.

The Dist vector elements do not come from a formula. They are individual data points. Do I create a vector of 30 rows and then click on each element to enter the dats or is there a more convenient method like Mathcad where you just hit enter to go to the next element to enter that value?

Thanks
Reg

You can do it like this.

More difficult way with using Script region.

Another option:

1. Press Ctrl+M
2. Enter size of matrix
3. Enter first element
4. press right arrow to proceed to next element
5. Continue until matrix is filled.

Yet another option:
1. Press Ctrl+M
2. Create 1x1 Matrix
3. Enter first element
4. Press , (comma) to create next element in vector.
5. Continue until you're finished.

1. define your vector MyVector:=
2. In the place holder, click matrix in the palette3
3. 30rows, 1 col
4. fill-in if they don't exist from other instance

3. 30rows, 1 col

need more rows => put square cursor on the right
of the last value ... press , [coma]
more more more ... coma coma coma

you need less than commanded => backspace on unused place holder(s)

need more rows =

insert ...

Thanks Alyel; that's what I was looking for. Thanks much
