Hi.
When I try to use the 'less than' operator to obtain the area under a curve composed of semicircles generated by a sequence command, it doesn't work as expected.
I have a list of circles specified as combinations of a location on the x-axis and a radius and I can use the sequence command to turn this into a sequence of alternating semicircles, but when I try to do something similar with the area under these alternating semicircles, something goes wrong.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions how to resolve this, Niek

Hi
Try
It doesn't seem to work for me. Can you show it working in a screenshot or share a ggb file that demonstrates it?

When I try this in the Geometry app, as soon as I've typed "l4 = sequence(y<l2)", somehow l2 suddenly disappears. So that's before I even succeed in entering the complete expression to try it out.

ok for me with Geometry app
i write l4 without problem (and < is ok in Algebra view in this app (last screen shot was with GeoGebra 5))
Hmmm, I think I see now what the problem is, geogebra tries to evaluate the expression as I'm entering it and if a partial expression boils down to something invalid, it can cause other expressions that are referenced in the partial expression to suddenly disappear.
I can get it to work if I first enter:
l4 = sequence(l2(p, x), p, 1, 5)
and subsequently modify the expression to:
l4 = sequence(y < l2(p, x), p, 1, 5)

Maybe it works different on the mac (I'm on windows).. anyway, that solves it I guess. Thanks!
