var.recallAt is a function that is part of the Var library.
Recalls a value from a cell of a list or matrix in the symbol table.
This function is optimized to work with numeric values and normally returns a number. If the value of the recalled cell is not numeric, this function returns nil and an error message string.
This has been introduced in TI-Nspire OS 3.2 (Changes).
Syntax
var.recallAt(name, column [,row])
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| string | Name of the variable to grab from | |
| number | 1-based column number of the matrix or list. | |
| number | (Optional) 1-based row number. row is only required when recalling a value from a matrix. |
Example
var.store("mat", {{1,2}, {3,4}}) -- create matrix mat in the symbol table
var.storeAt("mat", 13.3, 1, 1) -- puts the number 13.1 into the field 1,1 of the matrix
val = var.recallAt("mat", 1, 1) -- grab it back in luaGood to know
Routines var.recallAt and var.storeAt will work with matrices but only if they are created by some other means (var.store) :
