modify - modify a list or matrix by changing the values of its elements
SYNOPSIS
modify(A, fname)
TYPES
A lvalue with list, matrix or objectvalue
fname string, the name of a user-defined function
return null value if successful, otherwise an error value
DESCRIPTION
The value of each element of A is replaced by the value at that
value of the user-defined function with name fname. Thus,
modify(A, "f") has the effect of
for (i = 0; i < size(A); i++) A[[i]] = f(A[[i]]);
An error value is returned if A is not of acceptable type, if A has
no-change protection, or if there is no user-defined function with
name fname. The assignments are executed even if the protection
status of some elements A[[i]] would normally prevent the
assignment of f(A[[i]]) to A[[i]]. The modified elements retain
whatever kinds of protection they had as well as gaining any
other kinds of protection in the values returned by the function.
To obtain a modified copy of A without changing values in A,
one may use
Amod = A; modify(A, fname)
or more simply
modify(Amod = A, fname).
EXAMPLE
; define f(x) = x^2
; A = list(2,4,6)
; modify(A, "f")
; print A
list (3 elements, 3 nonzero):
[[0]] = 4
[[1]] = 16
[[3]] = 36
