Subject: adding numbers



In My latest program I Need tobe abble to add two numbers which apper in a
sequence together E.g "{1,6) = {16}" This probaly is very trivial but it
really needs to be done


--Derek Replies--------------
If you literally mean that your have a two-element sequence and you want to
convert it to a one-element sequence in the manner exampled above then ....

   sequence x
   x = {1,6}
   x = { x[1]*10 + x[2] }

and in the general case of an arbitary sized sequence then...

   atom r
   r = 0
   for i = 1 to length(x) do
       r = (r*10) + x[i]
   end for
   x = {r}

hope this helps.

Derek.
