Returns the least common multiple of the two arguments. The lcm of two fractions is the lcm of their numerators divided by the gcd of their denominators. The lcm of fractional floating-point numbers is their product.

For two lists or matrices, returns the least common multiples of the corresponding elements.

left(Comparison) ⇒ expression

Returns the left-hand side of an equation or inequality.

[, LibPrivFlag]) ⇒ list of variables

Creates a variable group in the current problem that contains references to all the objects in the specified library document libNameString. Also adds the group members to the Variables menu. You can then refer to each object using its ShortcutNameString.

Set LibPrivFlag=0 to exclude private library objects (default)
Set LibPrivFlag=1 to include private library objects

Local Var1[, Var2] [, Var3] ...

Declares the specified vars as local variables. Those variables exist only during evaluation of a function and are deleted when the function finishes execution.

Note: Local variables save memory because they only exist temporarily. Also, they do not disturb any existing global variable values. Local variables must be used for For loops and for temporarily saving values in a multi-line function since modifications on global variables are not allowed in a function.

Note for entering the example: For instructions on entering multi-line program and function definitions, refer to the Calculator section of your product guidebook.

LockVar.

Locks the specified variables or variable group. Locked variables cannot be modified or deleted.

Note: The Lock command clears the Undo/Redo history when applied to unlocked variables.

See unLock, here, and getLockInfo(), here.

If the base argument is omitted, 10 is used as base.

LU Matrix, lMatrix, uMatrix, pMatrix[,Tol]

Calculates the Doolittle LU (lower-upper) decomposition of a real or complex matrix. The lower triangular matrix is stored in lMatrix, the upper triangular matrix in uMatrix, and the permutation matrix (which describes the row swaps done during the calculation) in pMatrix.

lMatrix•uMatrix = pMatrix•matrix

Optionally, any matrix element is treated as zero if its absolute value is less than Tol. This tolerance is used only if the matrix has floating-point entries and does not contain any symbolic variables that have not been assigned a value. Otherwise, Tol is ignored.

The LU factorization algorithm uses partial pivoting with row interchanges.
