The eigen function does not return anything but stores the eigenvalue matrix in D and the eigenvector matrix in Q.

Example 1. Check the relation AX = lambda X where lambda is an eigenvalue and X is the associated eigenvector.

Enter

     A = hilbert(3)

     eigen(A)

     lambda = D[1,1]

     X = Q[1]

     dot(A,X) - lambda X

j and k must either be integers or evaluate to integers. Either of them can be negative, and they can be equal, e.g.
...if j < k e.g. j = -1 and k = 1 then i goes through the values -1,0,1
...if j > k e.g. j = 1 and k = -1 then i goes through the values 1,0,-1
...if j = k e.g. j = 3 and k = 3 (or j = -3 and k = -3) then i goes through the only value 3 (or -3, respectively)
The index variable is not clobbered i.e. the original value of the index variable is restored after "for" completes.
The following script uses "for" to compute pi to six digits using Viete's formula ( see http://www.pi314.net/eng/viete.php ).
