Scilab Bag Of Tricks - Claymore

meta-variable
Preface
This typeface is reserved for placeholders, i.e. stuff that always is replaced with the real input.
literal piece of code
variable
function
command
We use this font to display literal pieces of code, variables, constant as well as operators.
Variables of all kinds are marked up this way.
Functions or procedures of all kinds are marked up this way.
We use this font for shell commands, but also for Scilab commands.
environment-variable
To distinguish environment variables from program variables a separate font is used.
In examples, which show some source-code, additional comments always start with two dashes
independent of the language. JadeTeX coerces these two dashes into one longer dash, called n-dash.
#include
/* The world’s most famous C-program */
int
main(void)
{
printf("Hello world!\n");
return 0; – exit code for success
}
5. Acknowledgments
Lydia van Dijk: To the CCMR system administrators Daniel Blakely and Berry Robinson for
providing a rock solid multi-platform environment at the early stages (prior to version 0.14) of this
project.
Christoph “Solo” Spiel: First of all thanks go to Lydia. Before working with her I did not know
whether I am insane. This project has removed all doubt. “Wonderful girl! Either I’m going to kill
her, or I’m going to like her.” – Han Solo about Princess Leia in “A New Hope”.
To F. Maximilian “Tiger” Pitschi. You have shown me the difference between software engineering
and hacking. Kick me again...
