Good morning, my dears, could you help me? Recently, I have been learning programming in smath. My question is whether it is possible to make a multiple input in a repetition structure, whether it is a For... That is, an example if I had several geometric figures, for example, a triangle with different measurements, let's put a number that is 100 triangles with different measurements and I would like to program with the help of a repetition structure to instruct the dimensions of each triangle to find its area

Example
For I from 1 to N Do
Input(B, H) ;
Area_(I)=0.5*B*H
End;

Is there a way to do this in smath?

Hi Danuko, maybe an easy way to do you need is program a simple function and define the input as a matrix:

I wonder whether you really want to input hundred of triangle specifications inside SMath.
Using matrices for input usually is a nightmare because you neither can insert rows nor can you delete ones without resorting to some programming.
You could, however, build a sort of editor with append, insert, delete functions for the data storage.

I'd prefer a multicolumn text file (e.g. csv format) and the use of the importData() function.

As suggested Post # 3, you can manipulate
your long rectangular triangles dimensions.
Those offered algo style collapsed.

You can even construct random or on some governing function.
All those single output values, can you pass to a music system ?
