Tip 91. One-line-program
Fig. 91. One-line-program
For
increase the compactness of Mathcad-programs (for decrease the number of lines
in it) it was recommended in tip 33 to write on one line
a few operators putting them on the place of the vector-line’s elements
(matrixes with one line[1]).
It
was impossible to place a few operators on “returnable” line of the program[2],
as since in this case the program returns the values of a few operators united
in array but not the value of the last operator. This disadvantage can be the
advantage: the apotheosis of the technology of decrease the number of line we
can consider the program with … one line -array – one-line-program. Such
program-function that solves our old problem about the volume of a cone (see tip 30, 35, 36,
37, 69 and etc.),
which returns the values of all its local variables and commentaries to them is
showed in the fig. 91. It is very convenient during
program debugging. If it is necessary that the on-line-function returned only
one (the last) value then it is enough to call it with specifying of necessary
element of the matrix V(10, 15)3, 1 = 370.24.
