var.recallAt

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
name	string	Description of arg1
column	number	Description of arg2
row	number	Description of arg3

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 lua

Good to know

Routines var.recallAt and var.storeAt will work with matrices but only if they are created by some other means (var.store) :
