Hi. Return it's an unstructured instruction, which breaks the flow in a program. You don't have it in SMath, then you must to do a similar process like translate a BASIC program into pascal or c++.

Otherwise is the else in SMath, which appear always as part of if instruction. That's a difference with Mathcad, where you can have an if without otherwise. In smath you can't have an if without the else clause.

In your code also there are an inline if; smath don't have that option.

Mathcad have origin=0, smath is origin=1.

Finally, there are not any for with otherwise neither mathcad nor smath. In your code it could be confusing the use of if, but all of the otherwise are because one if, never because any for loop.

This code could replicate the mathcad function, but because isn't clear where ends the for loop, I'm not sure if it is correct. You need to do some debug here. Notice also that mathcad can have for loops without "ending" or "close" with a result the line, but smath can't.



Best regards.

1. "return" ... collected otherwise
2. "local definition" ... simply :=
3. "if/else" within forloop ... YES
