Summable series: series whose items can be added together because they share the same units. <\/span>
\n Example: <\/span>quantity of nuts<\/span><\/em> and <\/span>quantity of apples<\/span><\/em> , expressed in kg. <\/span>
\n NB: on Actilud <\/span>all<\/span><\/em> summable series are assumed to share the same units.<\/span><\/h6>\n

Bertha harvests 40kg of nuts and apples.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The red lines represent the relationships between the boxes across the grids, materialized by the Booleans.<\/span><\/p>\n

False signs<\/span><\/h3>\n

Those present in the Boolean rows indicate that these positions are not available. If Bertha picks up 10kg of nuts, she cannot get 40kg by adding apples; similarly, if she picks up 5kg of apples, she cannot get 40kg by adding nuts.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Randomly selects two summable series. The subject is chosen from the other series – this is the random choice – or its heading can be imposed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Isolated: If the instruction operates in isolated mode, the designer does not select rows that already contain signs, including Booleans.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Maximum number of executions of this instruction.<\/span><\/p>\n
