function [ n_data, a, b, x, fx ] =  hypergeometric_u_values ( n_data )

%*****************************************************************************80
%
%% HYPERGEOMETRIC_U_VALUES: some values of the hypergeometric function U(a,b,x).
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    In Mathematica, the function can be evaluated by:
%
%      fx = HypergeometricU [ a, b, x ]

%
%  Parameters:
%
%    Input/output, integer N_DATA.  The user sets N_DATA to 0 
%    before the first call.  On each call, the routine increments N_DATA by 1,
%    and returns the corresponding data; when there is no more data, the
%    output value of N_DATA will be 0 again.
%
%    Output, real A, B, X, the parameters.
%
%    Output, real FX, the value of the function.
