### 2.24.26 Lagrange’s polynomial : `lagrange interp`

`lagrange` takes as argument two lists of size `n` (resp a matrix with two rows and `n` columns) and the name of a variable `var` (by default `x`).
The first list (resp row) corresponds to the abscissa values xk (k=1..n), and the second list (resp row) corresponds to ordinate values yk (k=1..n).
`lagrange` returns a polynomial expression `P` with respect to `var` of degree `n-1`, such that P(xi)=yi.
Input :

`lagrange([[1,3],[0,1]])`

or :

`lagrange([1,3],[0,1])`

Output :

`(x-1)/2`

since x−1/2=0 for x=1, and x−1/2=1 for x=3.
Input :

`lagrange([1,3],[0,1],y)`

Output :

`(y-1)/2`

Warning
`f:=lagrange([1,2],[3,4],y)` does not return a function but an expression with respect to y. To define f as a function, input

`f:=unapply(lagrange([1,2],[3,4],x),x)`

Avoid `f(x):=lagrange([1,2],[3,4],x)` since the Lagrange polynomial would be computed each time `f` is called (indeed in a function definition, the second member of the affectation is not evaluated). Note also that
`g(x):=lagrange([1,2],[3,4])` would not work since the default argument of `lagrange` would be global, hence not the same as the local variable used for the definition of `g`.
