- Element[ <List>, <Number n> ]
- Yields the nth element of the list.
- Example:
Element[{1, 3, 2}, 2]
yields 3, the second element of {1, 3, 2}.
- Element[ <Matrix>, <Row>, <Column> ]
- Yields the element of the matrix in the given row and column.
- Example:
Element[{{1, 3, 2}, {0, 3, -2}}, 2, 3]
yields -2, the third element of the second row of \begin{pmatrix}1&3&2\\0&3&-2\end{pmatrix}.
- Element[ <List L>, <Index1>, <Index2>, ...]
- Provided L is n-dimensional list, one can specify up to n indices to obtain an element (or list of elements) at given coordinates.
- Example:Let L={{{1, 2}, {3, 4}}, {{5, 6}, {7, 8}}}. Then
Element[L, 1, 2, 1]
yields 3,Element[L, 2, 2]
yields {7, 8}.
Note: For this command to work, the list or matrix can contain elements of one object type only (e. g. only numbers or only points).
CAS Syntax
- Element[ <List>, <Number n> ]
- Yields the nth element of the list.
- Example:
Element[{a, b, c}, 2]
yields b, the second element of {a, b, c}.
- Element[ <Matrix>, <Row>, <Column> ]
- Yields the element of the matrix in the given row and column.
- Example:
Element[{{a, b, c}, {d, e, f}}, 2, 3]
yields f, the third element of the second row of\begin{pmatrix}a&b&c\\d&e&f\end{pmatrix}.
