Working with Matrices


The AUTONAME Option in the RESET Statement

You can use the RESET statement with the AUTONAME option to automatically display row and column headings. If your matrix has n rows and p columns, the row headings are ROW1 to ROWn and the column headings are COL1 to COLp. For example, the following statements produce the subsequent matrix:

coffee={4 2 2 3 2, 3 3 1 2 1, 2 1 0 2 1, 5 4 4 3 4};
reset autoname;
print coffee;
