A list in the hp 39g+ is the same mathematically as a set. As with a set, it is
written as numbers separated by commas and enclosed with curly brackets.
Eg.
{2,5,-2,10,3.75}

The list variables

Using the HOME view these lists can be stored
in special list variables. There are ten of these
L1,L2,..L9,L0.
Eg.
{2,5,-2,10,3.75} L1

Operations on lists

Typing L1 and then ENTER will then retrieve
the list. Lists can also be multiplied by a
constant and have a constant added to them
(see below)
If we store another list of the same length into L2, then the two lists can be
multiplied together. The resulting list is obtained by multiplying each element
in the first list by the matching element in the second list.
Many of the normal mathematical functions also work on lists of numbers by
performing the operation on each individual element. Lists on the hp 39g+
can contain more than simply numbers. For example, the return value for
some matrix functions is a list where each element is a matrix. Elements of a
list can be matrices, lists and other things..

Statistical columns as lists

The column variables C1,C2..C9,C0 in the
Statistics aplet are actually list variables
attached to their aplet and can be used as
extra storage if you need more list variables.
The statistical variables have the additional
advantage, of course, that they can be
graphed in the Statistics aplet and with all the
usual statistical analysis measures available.
To transfer a list variable to a statistics
variable, just store one into the other (see
right). As you can see in the second view, the
list has been transferred to C1. Pressing
statistical measures for the newly created column.
