Wait a second!
Sequence()
The
command
does exactly that!
Why do we need another command that does the same?
Zip()
Sequence( End Value )
Sequence( Start Value, End Value )
Sequence( Start Value, End Value, Increment )
Sequence( Expression, Variable, Start Value, End Value )
Sequence( Expression, Variable, Start Value, End Value, Increment )
It is an efficient and intuitive way to create
lists of numbers and objects
Sequence( End Value )
Sequence( Start Value, End Value )
Sequence( Start Value, End Value, Increment )
Sequence( Expression, Variable, Start Value, End Value )
Sequence( Expression, Variable, Start Value, End Value, Increment )
Zip( Expression, Var1, List1, Var2, List2, ...)
Looks like we're limited to just one input option!
Zip( Expression, Var1, List1, Var2, List2, ...)
Creates a list of objects
by elements of corresponding lists
obtained by substitution of variables in the expression

Type the scripts (or GeoGebra code) in the Input box
list1 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
L = Zip(2*k+1, k, list1)
Input:
L = {3, 5, 7, 9, 11}
Output:
Sequence(2*k+1, k, 1, 5)
Equivalent to:
list1 = {0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2}
L = Zip(i^2+1, i, list1)
Input:
L = {1, 1.25, 2, 3.35, 5}
Output:
Sequence(i^2+1, i, 0, 2, 0.5)
Equivalent to:
list1 = Sequence(k, k, -4, 4, 0.2)
L = Zip(2*k, k, list1)
Input:
list1 = Sequence(k, k, -4, 4, 0.2)
L = Zip(2*k, k, list1)
Input:
Sequence(2*k, k, -4, 4, 0.2)
Equivalent to:
Output:
list1 = {-4, -3.8, -3.6, ..., 3.6, 3.8, 4}
L = {-8, -7.6, -7.2, -6.8,..., 7.2, 7.6, 8}
Sequence(2*k, k, -4, 4, 0.2)
list1 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
L = Zip(2*k+1, k, list1)
Sequence(2*k+1, k, 1, 5)
Sequence(i^2+1, i, 0, 2, 0.5)
list1 = {0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2}
L = Zip(i^2+1, i, list1)
list1 = Sequence(k, k, -4, -4, 0.2)
L = Zip(2*k, k, list1)
An additional list needs to be predefined for the Zip command
P = (-2, -2)
Q = (2, -2)
R = (-2, 2)
S = (2, 2)
Zip(Midpoint(A, B), A, {P, Q}, B, {R, S})
P = (-2, -2)
Q = (2, -2)
R = (-2, 2)
S = (2, 2)
Zip(Midpoint(A, B), A, {P, Q}, B, {R, S})
Zip(Midpoint(A, B), A, {P, Q}, B, {R, S})
Creates a list of objects (midpoints)
by elements of corresponding lists
obtained by substitution of variables in the expression
Sequence(Midpoint(Element({P,Q}, k), Element({R,S}, k)), k, 1, 2)
We can also use the Sequence command:
But we need to introduce an extra command: Element()
Zip(Midpoint(A, B), A, {P, Q}, B, {R, S})
Sequence(Midpoint(Element({P,Q}, k), Element({R,S}, k)), k, 1, 2)
Zip(Midpoint(A, B), A, {P, Q}, B, {R, S})
Using the Zip command not only reduces code
but also makes it more concise
A = (1, -3)
B = (3, -3)
C = (1, 1)
D = (3, 1)
E = (-3, 1)
F = (-1, 1)
G = (-3, -3)
H = (-1, -3)
Lk = {3, 4, 5, 6}
Zip(Polygon(P, Q, k), P, {A, C, G, E}, Q, {B, D, H, F}, k, Lk)
A = (1, -3)
B = (3, -3)
C = (1, 1)
D = (3, 1)
E = (-3, 1)
F = (-1, 1)
G = (-3, -3)
H = (-1, -3)
Lk = {3, 4, 5, 6}
Zip(Polygon(P, Q, k), P, {A, C, G, E}, Q, {B, D, H, F}, k, Lk)
A = (1, -3)
B = (3, -3)
C = (1, 1)
D = (3, 1)
E = (-3, 1)
F = (-1, 1)
G = (-3, -3)
H = (-1, -3)
Lk = {3, 4, 5, 6}
LP = {A, C, G, E}
LQ = {B, D, H, F}
Zip(Polygon(P, Q, k), P, LP, Q, LQ, k, Lk)
Zip(Polygon(P, Q, k), P, LP, Q, LQ, k, Lk)
Sequence(Polygon(Element(LP, k), Element(LQ, k), Element(Lk, k)), k, 1, 4)
✔
Lk = -4..4
LP = Flatten(Zip(Zip(Zip((i, j, k), i, Lk), j, Lk), k, Lk))
Lr = Zip(0.5*random(), k, 1..Length(LP))
LS = Zip(Sphere(P, r), P, LP, r, Lr)
Lk = -4..4
LP = Flatten(Zip(Zip(Zip((i, j, k), i, Lk), j, Lk), k, Lk))
Lr = Zip(0.5*random(), k, 1..Length(LP))
LS = Zip(Sphere(P, r), P, LP, r, Lr)
Sequence(k, k, -4, 4)
You can also type:
Create a list of numbers:
Lk = {-4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4}
Creates a 3D array of points
{{a, b, c}, {x, y,z}} →{a, b, c, x, y, z}
Flattens list to a one dimensional list
Flatten()
Lk = -4..4
LP = Flatten(Zip(Zip(Zip((i, j, k), i, Lk), j, Lk), k, Lk))
Lr = Zip(0.5*random(), k, 1..Length(LP))
LS = Zip(Sphere(P, r), P, LP, r, Lr)
Creates a list of random numbers between 0 and 0.5 based on the number of elements of the list LP
1..Length(LP) = Sequence(k, k, 1, Length(LP))
Lk = -4..4
LP = Flatten(Zip(Zip(Zip((i, j, k), i, Lk), j, Lk), k, Lk))
Lr = Zip(0.5*random(), k, 1..Length(LP))
LS = Zip(Sphere(P, r), P, LP, r, Lr)
Creates a 3D array of spheres
Lk = -4..4
LP = Flatten(Zip(Zip(Zip((i, j, k), i, Lk), j, Lk), k, Lk))
Lr = Zip(0.5*random(), k, 1..Length(LP))
LS = Zip(Sphere(P, r), P, LP, r, Lr)
As an exercise try to rewrite this code using the
Sequence()
command
Lk = -4..4
LP = Flatten(Zip(Zip(Zip((i, j, k), i, Lk), j, Lk), k, Lk))
Lr = Zip(0.5*random(), k, 1..Length(LP))
LS = Zip(Sphere(P, r), P, LP, r, Lr)
I am sure you will see the benefits of using the
Zip()
command
We can create lists of numbers and objects
by writing GeoGebra code in a more
efficient and concise manner
Zip()
command
Zip()
command
which works fine if your goal is to create simple lists of numbers and objects
This is similar to the
Sequence()
command
Think about the
Zip()
command
as an advanced version of the
Sequence()
command
Think about the
Zip()
as an advanced version of the
command
Sequence()
command
that will help you discover the full potential of GeoGebra to write code
