Example of RTF Formatting: Bankruptcy Warning Embedded Variables and RTF Formatting Tags Non-Standard Boxes Grid Boxes Help Boxes History Boxes Container Boxes A Container box holds other, smaller boxes Use it to easily organize other boxes Container boxes divide the screen into columns; boxes in the Container divide the column into cells; one item is placed into each box Example: Using Container Boxes More Complicated Programs: Arrays and Iterators Storing Vectors zTree can store vectors of values by creating array objects Values for elements of the array are assigned using this syntax: arrayname[i]=1; Arrays and Iterator Functions Arrays can be used in conjunction with iterator functions in order to quickly assign a series of values Iterators repeatedly execute a portion of a program, incrementing the value of a variable as it goes Iterator statements must be appended to other functions, like “sum” or “do” using a syntax like iterator(i,10).sum(arrayname[i], v) Example of Iterator Syntax Used with Arrays Things zTree Cannot do With Arrays Store matrices (or arrays that have other arrays as elements) Do matrix multiplication or other matrix operations More Complicated Programs: Storing Past Histories Storing Information From Previous Periods Sometimes, you may wish to present historical information from previous periods to subjects The problem: zTree only remembers the value of a variable one period prior These previous values are stored in a table called OLDtable; so, the previous variables in the subjects table can be called from the table called OLDsubjects How Can You Maintain a History Longer than One Period? At the end of the treatment, insert a program like the one at left; this program moves values from multiple periods ago into sequential boxes, finally discarding them after 4 periods History1 History2 History3 History4 Current Value 1 Period Ago 2 Periods Ago 3 Periods Ago 4 Periods Ago 5 Periods Ago Histories, Continued Creating histories w
