A sequence is represented by a sequence of elements separated by commas, without delimiters or with either parentheses (( and )) or seq[ and ] as delimiters, as in:
1,2,3,4 |
or:
(1,2,3,4) |
or:
seq[1,2,3,4] |
|
Note that the order of the elements of a sequence is significant. For example, if B:=(5,6,3,4) and C:=(3,4,5,6), then B==C returns false.
(A value can be assigned to a variable with the := operator; see Section 3.3.1. Also, == is the test for equality; see Section 4.1.2.)
Note also that the expressions seq[…] and
seq(…) are not the same (see Section 5.1.2 for
information on seq(…)). For example,
seq([0,2])=(0,0) and seq([0,1,1,5])=[0,0,0,0,0]
but
seq[0,2]=(0,2) and seq[0,1,1,5]=(0,1,1,5)
See Section 5.1 for operations on sequences.
