skill script sum list elements using plus command

christerNtch

 Hi there,

Does anyone know if and how to make "plus" work for a list,

for example:

(setq taps (list 1 5 1))
(setq hSum plus(taps)) 

i.e., I want hSum = sum of elements of list "taps"

I know it works like 

plus(1 5 1) = 7

but I have rather long list (which is also input parameter in my script)

 thanks for any help

  • Hi Christer,

    What you need is the "apply" function so that you can apply the function to a list of values which will ultimately form the functions' arguments:

    (setq hSum (apply 'plus taps))
    
=> 7

    Hopefully this answers your question.

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.

  •  yes thanks, thats exactly what i was wondering

  •  I also have another question I dont know if it is appropriate to ask in this post. In my script I instantiate two blocks and now I want to connect them with a bus. which command should be used? and how?

    should I first make a net and then connect each terminal to this net in different lines of script?

  • Hi Christer,

    probably best to start a new thread.  However, I don't think I've done this before entirely in SKILL.  I assme this is a schematic?  I think that you would create each bit signal of the bus and then connect the instance terminals (instTerms) to each net in turn.  I think that you would also have to take care of creating the instTerms yourself (this is done automatically when you create wire connections in the GUI). Which version are you using?

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
