Scilab Bag Of Tricks - Claymore

end
...
end // while
end
for p = i : icurs-1
this_diff = [lst1(p), string(-p)];
diff = [diff; this_diff];
end
// re-sync
i = icurs;
The complete listing of this function can be found in Chapter 8.
The last example also shows that we are switching between several style paradigms:
• Neither the “One statement per line” rule is followed consistently,
if equ(lst1(icurs), lst2(j)), break, end
could be
if equ( lst1(icurs), lst2(j) ) then
break
end
• Nor is the intra-line spacing always consistent with the guidelines presented here:
for p = i : icurs-1
could be
for p = i:icurs-1
Chapter 3. Style
The Golden Rule is that there are no golden rules... This is best known under the term ‘freedom’.
3.3. Single Quotes vs. Double Quotes
Single or double quotes enclose literal strings in Scilab. The opening quotes must match the closing
ones, otherwise single and double quotes can be used interchangingly.
The single quote, used as postfix operator, has the additional meaning of Hermitian (complex)
transpostion. This double use almost causes not problems, but if you want to play it extra save, using
double quotes for strings only adds clarity to your scripts.
