Data types.

  Data handled by ALGB have two representation: the user representation which you use most all the time and the internal representation. If the user flag 17 is cleared, ALGB is in user representation mode, otherwise, ALGB is in internal representation mode. Sometimes you will be astonished by the results of ALGB functions because you believe that you are in user representation mode but you are in fact in internal mode. You can use the VER instruction to reset all flags in the usual state.

List of data types:

Notes:

• You can use binary integer (Sysrpl hexstrings) with ALGB but no simplification routines are provided for this data type.
• Numeric and symbolic vectors are of course allowed (1-d arrays).
• List of lists are used for symbolic matrices (a symbolic matrice is like a numeric matrice, just replace [ by and ] by ).
• For Sysrpl programmers: you can use the arithmetic operations on long real and system binary integers.
