<repeatForSequence>

<repeatForSequence> is a General Operator component that performs the requested operations in an iterative manner over the sequence specified. Its behavior is similar to a for loop in other programming languages.

Attributes and Properties

<repeatForSequence> does not have any properties.

Example: <repeatForSequence> a set of points within a <graph>

A <repeatForSequence> can be used to generate multiple graphical elements at once when placed within a <graph>.

Example: <repeatForSequence> a user-specified number of inputs

A <repeatForSequence> can be used to generate a user-specified number of <mathInput> components.

The <repeatForSequence> component generates an array. Individual entries can be accessed using array notation.

Example: Nested <repeatForSequence> to generate an irregular grid

<graph xmin="-1" xmax="19" ymin="-1" ymax="12" identicalAxisScales>
<repeatForSequence name="shapeGrid" from="3" to="17" step="7" valueName="xC" indexName="i">
  <repeatForSequence from="2" to="10" step="4" valueName="yC">
    <regularPolygon numSides="5" center="($xC, $yC)" styleNumber="$i" filled/>
  </repeatForSequence>
</repeatForSequence>
</graph>

A <repeatForSequence> can be nested within another <repeatForSequence> to iterate over a combination of sequences with different ranges and steps.

Example: Generate a user-specified number of random <point> components

A <repeatForSequence> can be used to generate a user-specified number of randomly placed <point> components.
