Hello,
I am a new user and having difficulty finding a method to assign a value
from a previous line.
Here we have an equation that gives two solutions, [x = - 10.0, x = 10.0].
And we have two functions, %phi[1] : -x/(2*d) and %phi[2] : -x/(2*d)
that their x values are given by the previous equation.
Is there an operational function that will assign the x's to their
respective %phi[n] functions?
x = - 10.0 assign %phi[1] : -x/(2*d) and
Example:
/* Solve for x when y=0 */
x^2+d*y*4+d^2*(-4);
y:0;
d:5;
solve(%i1,x);
''%, numer; [x = - 10.0, x = 10.0]
Now read the value on the above line and assign the left and right values as
x = - 10.0 assign %phi[1] : -x/(2*d) result should be %phi[1] : -10.0
x = 10.0 assign %phi[3] : -x/(2*d) result should be %phi[2] : 10.0
Does anyone have a solution?
