Lets say we want to collect result obtained inside loop, but do not know in advance how many iteration we need.
In Mathematica, Sow
and Reap
are used. In Maple, an Array
can be used or a queue or a
table.
Mathematica
Remove["Global`*"] result = First@Last@Reap@Do[ Sow[n], {n, 1, 10} ]; result
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
Maple
restart; result :=Array([]): for n from 1 to 10 do result(n):=n; od: result(1..10)
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
