Table generating apparatus, table generating method and recording medium containing program

A table generating method of an electronic device having a display unit and an input unit, comprising:

• a function-expression input receiving step of receiving an input of a function expression;
• a setting-input receiving step of receiving an input for setting a table range;
• a table displaying step of (i) generating a table representing a relation between a plurality of values included in the table range and corresponding values which correspond to the plurality of values respectively and which are determined by the function expression, based on the table range represented by the setting input received in the setting-input receiving step and (ii) displaying the generated table on the display unit;
• an additional-value input receiving step of receiving an input of an additional value while the table is being displayed in the table displaying step;
• a table addition step of adding the additional value represented by the input received in the additional-value input receiving step, and a corresponding value which corresponds to the additional value and which is determined by the function expression, to the table displayed in the table displaying step;
• and
• a table expanding step of expanding the table by adding values obtained by subsequently changing the additional value, and corresponding values which correspond to the obtained values and which are determined by the function expression, to the table displayed in the table displaying step, after the additional value and the corresponding value thereof are added to the table in the table addition step, each time a predetermined operation input is received.

A non-transitory recording medium containing a program for causing a computer of a table generating apparatus to perform following processes of:

• a function-expression input receiving function of receiving an input of a function expression;
• a setting-input receiving function of receiving an input for setting a table range;
• a table displaying function of (i) generating a table representing a relation between a plurality of values included in the table range and corresponding values which correspond to the plurality of values respectively and which are determined by the function expression, based on the table range represented by the setting input received by the setting-input receiving function, and (ii) displaying the generated table on the display unit;
• an additional-value input receiving function of receiving an input of an additional value while the table displaying function is displaying the table;
• a table addition function of adding the additional value represented by the input received by the additional-value input receiving function and a corresponding value which corresponds to the additional value and which is determined by the function expression, to the table which the table displaying function is displaying;
• and
• a table expanding function of expanding the table by adding values obtained by subsequently changing the additional value, and corresponding values which correspond to the obtained values and which are determined by the function expression, to the table which the table displaying function is displaying, after the table addition function adds the additional value and the corresponding value thereof to the table, each time a predetermined operation input is received.
