// This is a simple but rather interesting program that graphs equations.
// You enter equations in terms of x and y, something like one of the
// following:
//
//  y = sin[x]
//
//  x^2 + y^2 = 81
// 
while func = input["Enter equation: "]
{
   func =~ %s/=/ PEQ /            // Replace = with possibly equals

   xsteps = 78
   xmin = -10
   xmax = 10
   xstep = (xmax-xmin) / xsteps

   ysteps = 39
   ymin = -10
   ymax = 10
   ystep = (ymax-ymin) / ysteps

   for yy=ymax to ymin step -ystep
   {
      y = new interval[yy, yy+ystep]
      for xx=xmin to xmax step xstep
      {
         x = new interval[xx, xx+xstep]

         if eval[func]
            print["X"]
         else
            print["."]
      }
      println[]
   }
}
