Function
Input
Output
sample
interval endpoints, say, 0, 1 
and either step-size e.g. 0.2 
or number of sub-divisions, e.g. 4
sequence of points dividing interval into equally spaced intervals 
e.g. 0 , 0.2 , 0.4 , 0.6 , 0.8 , 1 
or 0 , 0.25 , 0.5 , 0.75 , 1
mids
sequence of values 
e.g. 4 , 8 , 2 , 12 , 16
sequence of values midway between successive values in input sequence 
6 , 5 , 7 , 14
d
sequence of values 
e.g. 4 , 8 , 2 , 12 , 16
sequence of differences between successive values in input sequence 
4 , -6 , 10 , 4
sum
sequence of values 
e.g. 4 , 8 , 2 , 12 , 16
sum of all values in the input sequence 
42
S
sequence of values 
e.g. 
4 , 8 , 2 , 12 , 16
sequence of partial sums of the input sequence, 
beginning with 0 (so composition d o S returns the input sequence). 
0 , 4, 12 , 14 , 26 , 42
plot
two sequences of equal length e.g. 
x = 4 , 8 , 2 , 12 , 16 
y = 3 , 2 , 1 , 9 , 10
