Thus AT(myArray, i) returns the i element of the one-dimensional array myArray. This operator returns a boolean, an integer or a double according to the type of the operands in the array. If one of the specified coordinate is out of range, the evaluation of the expression will fail.
For lists
The first operand must be the list and the second operand must be the index of the element to get. If the index is out of range (index < 0 or index > count(list)), the evaluation of the expression will not fail but will return -1.

enumerator O_Piecewise¶
Piecewise-linear function operator. The piecewise linear function is defined by two arrays of numbers giving the breakpoints of the function. This operator has exactly 3 operands: The first two operands must be two arrays of equal sizes (necessarily larger or equal to 2). These arrays must contain constant numbers (integers or doubles). The first array must contain numbers in ascending order. The third operand must be an integer or a double expression. The evaluation of the piecewise will fail if the value of the third operand is strictly smaller that the first element of the first array, or strictly larger than the last element of the first array. This operator returns a double.
PIECEWISE(x,y,z)
returns the image of z by the function defined by geometric points(x[0],y[0]), (x[1],y[1]), ..., (x[n-1],y[n-1])

returns55
.Discontinuities are allowed in the definition of the function, that is to say that two geometric points can share the same x-coordinate. By convention the value taken by the function at such a discontinuous point is the one associated to the last occurrence of this x-coordinate in array x. For instance
PIECEWISE(ARRAY(0, 50, 50, 100), ARRAY(0, 0.1, 0.9, 1), 50)
