Hi everyone, I've got problem with while loop. I have this function with Xstart = 0.2 ; Xfinish = 2 ; deltaX = 0.2 and I need to solve it in smath studio, but while loop is processing forever and never ends. I'm doing something wrong, or it's a bug? Thanks!

Is this what you need?

No, I need a range of numbers for X and Y, like: First X = 0.2, it's calculating Y(0.2) and shows first Y result, then X = 0.4 (previous X + delta X) and it's calculating Y(0.4), and until x = 2. In final I need a range of all X and all Y results.

I'm not sure I understood how to solve my function by this examples.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong:

Your proposal is not a case of while loop,
strictly wrong application.

You can do the job using a while loop but it is just one option (perhaps not the most straightforward one).

I need all X and all Y(x) values in the end, for Xfirst = 0.2, Xlast = 2 with step 0.2.
y(0.2)=
y(0.4)=
y(0.6)=
...
y(2)=
And it should look something like this:
x= 0.2 y= -0.6126
x= 0.4 y= 0.2173
x= 0.6 y= 0.7064
x= 0.8 y= 1.0721
x= 1.0 y= 1.3842
x= 1.2 y= 1.6771
x= 1.4 y= 1.9738
x= 1.6 y= 2.2924
x= 1.8 y= 2.6501
x= 2.0 y= 3.0639

I can type every y(x) in smath studio:

But, is it possible to do it with while loop?

What you are asking for is so restricted and useless for purpose !
Then you can:
1. start wherever [L] as long as computable your ln(,)
2. end wherever [N]
3. as fine step size [Δ]
4. algo style for infinite applications

I'm asking for this cos' we are learning Pascal programming language in university, and we need to write this function in Pascal with [while a<=b do], and check it in MathCAD or SMath studio program.
I don't need any graphics, I just need to check the function with while loop. You sent example without while loop and without Xlast = 2, so is it possible to check this function with while loop, or no?

Pascal is pretty retarded these days for Engineering applications !
Years ago, Mathcad for Universities was pretty freaked.
Better use Smath productive for studies & Engineering.

Absolutely, and there are several ways.

If you need a step-by step feedback on the fly you can use breakpoints (menu of math regions) and the debugger window ("View" menu). You might have to store the intermediate results in a dedicated variable though, to don't look into the whole matrix at each step.

Also you can use the function trace() and the output window, or you can build math strings using concat() and other functions, or maybe something more complex using the script region plugin by uni.
