LIBREOFFICE CALC PROGRAMMING
Preface to LibreOffice Calc programming
You will be ready for engineering programming after completing this tutorial. Section 12.4 concludes the first part of this tutorial with a bubble sort sample program. It combines many of the elements described in the first part of the manual. It includes, variables, loops, if statements, lists, and functions.
