... Abstract Fetch from the kernel pool the double precision values of an item associated with a body. ... It's an error to supply an output array that is too small to hold all of the values associated with the requested kernel variable. Detailed_Output dim is the number of values returned; this is always the number of values associated with the requested kernel variable unless an error has been signaled. values is the array of values associated with the requested kernel variable. ...

... DEFINE name value . ... DEFINE name READ i . ... The fact that variables are simply strings can be used to build complex commands; consider for example the macro readem # read multiple lines columns with names in row 1 READ ROW names 1.s DEFINE rc <$(names[(0)]) 1> DO i=2,DIMEN(names) { DEFINE rc <$rc $(names[($i - 1)]) $i> } LINES 2 0 READ < $rc > which reads the names of a set of columns from line 1, builds a command to read the data in the variable rc , and then reads all the data in one command....

Options can also be set using the environment variable EXINIT. setenv EXINIT 'set ic number sh=/usr/local/bin/Tcsh wm=5' . For the C and TC shell user, this sets the same options as in the example above. ...

... Functions are one of the fundamental building blocks in JavaScript. ...

... The performance of the task is directly proportional to the number of bins in the energy grid (ie the number of rows of the matrix), while the scientific accuracy of the results of using the matrix improves (to the limit of the energy resolution of the instrument) the more rows there are in the matrix. ... A user-defined grid can at present be only such that the grid points are evenly distributed across the energy range. ...
