3.2.4  Accessing elements

The elements of sequences and lists are indexed starting from 0 in Xcas syntax mode and from 1 in all other syntax modes (see Section 2.5.2). To access an element of a list or a sequence, follow the list with the index between square brackets.

Examples

L:=[2,5,1,4]
     

2,5,1,4
          
L[1]
     
5           

To access the last element of a list or sequence, you can put -1 between square brackets.

L[-1]
     
4           

If you want the indices to start from 1 in Xcas syntax mode, you can enter the index between double brackets.

L[[1]]
     
2
