JMP 11 Scripting Guide

Lists

Lists are containers to store items, such as the following:

• numbers

• variables

• character strings

• expressions (for example, assignments (see “Assignments with Lists”) or function calls)

• matrices

• nested lists

Create a list in one of the following ways:

• use the List function

• use {  } curly braces

Examples

Use the List() function or curly braces to create a list that includes numbers and variables:

x = List(1, 2, b);

x = {1, 2, b};

A list can contain text strings, other lists, and function calls:

{"Red", "Green", "Blue", {1, "true"}, sqrt(2)};

You can place a variable into a list and assign it a value at the same time:

x = {a=1, b=2};

Evaluate Lists

When you run a script that contains a list, a copy of the list is returned. ...
