Sorry for all the questions but maxima behaves quite differently from
the languages I am used to (python, c)
I don't understand the behaviour of the following program
g(s):=block([i],
for i:0 thru 5 do print(s[i])
);
f(s):=block([i],
local(t),
for i:0 thru 10 do t[i]:s[2*i],
g(t)
);
s[n]:=n^2;
p[n]:=n^2;
f(p);
Answer:
0

(I was expecting the squares of even numbers)
kill(s);
f(p);
0
4
16
64
100
Now it works....
