i am trying to print variables with indices.
The goal is to write something like:
x_1 + x_2 = 3 + 1 = 4
The problem is, that variables just like x_1 does not show an index. It shows the underscore itself.
/* works fine */
print(x_1)$
x_1;
/* Does not work */
ostream: make_string_output_stream()$
printf(ostream, string(x_1))$
get_output_stream_string(ostream);
Output of the code above
Converting "x_1" into a string destroys the underscore, but you need a string for the method printf().
Are there workarounds for this?
What to do here probably depends somewhat on what goal you need to achieve with this. Can you say more about the larger goal you are working toward?
In order to generate output which has typesetting instructions in it, you can call the tex or tex1 function to generate TeX output. If that needs to be displayed in a web page, I believe you can make use of the MathJax Javascript library. Sorry, I don't know more about MathJax.
You should probably write x[1] instead of x_1. Displaying x_1 with a subscript 1 is a convenience -- the rest of Maxima doesn't know much about it.
EDIT: There is also an add-on package to output MathML; there might be two such packages, I would have to check. If MathML could help solve your problem, I will look into it.

I'm writing a script to scrape from another website with Python, and I am facing this question that I have yet to figure out a method to resolve it.
So say I have set to replace this particular string with something else.
word_replace_1 = 'dv'
namelist = soup.title.string.replace(word_replace_1,'11dv')
The script works fine, when the titles are dv234,dv123 etc.
The output will be 11dv234, 11dv123.
However if the titles are, dv234, mixed with dvab123, even though I did not set dvab to be replaced with anything, the script is going to replace it to 11dvab123. What should I do here?
Also, if the title is a combination of alphabits,numbers and Korean characters, say DAV123ㄱㄴㄷ,
how exactly should I make it to only spitting out DAV123, and adding - in between alphabits and numbers?
Python - making a function that would add "-" between letters
This gives me the idea to add - in between all characters, but is there a method to add - between character and number?
the only way atm I can think of is creating a table of replacing them, for example something like this
word_replace_3 = 'a1'
word_replace_4 = 'a2'
.......
and then print them out as
namelist3 = soup.title.string.replace(word_replace_3,'a-1').replace(word_replace_4,'a-2')
This is just slow and not efficient. What would be the best method to resolve this?
Thanks.
How can I prevent MATLAB Coder to generate variable size code for a simple number insertion into a string?
for i=1:4
name=sprintf('Data%d.bin',int8(i));
stuff(name);
end
In the generated C code it uses a lot of functions like emxutil to determine the size of the generated string for sprtintf.
I just want to say that i is only one digit. How can I do that?!
The followings also do not work
name=['Data',char(i),'.bin'];
Using the following also gives an error for generating code that LHS is fixed sized but RHS is varying:
coder.varsize('name',[1,14],[0,0])
I just tested the following again. It works well and also can be used for more digits, and it does not use var size stuff.
name=['Data',int2str(i),'.bin'];
Also, these can be used if we are sure that i is one digit:
['Data' char(48+i) '.bin']
['Data' char('0'+i) '.bin']
I've been looking all around the web for this answer and can't find it.
I'm semi new to python so hoping i get an answer here,
so basically what i want to do is, access a text file "number.txt"
that has a 10 as a line, and do a sum within the python code.
Here is what i got so far:
with open('number.txt', 'r') as sum:
num = sum.readline()
clean = num.rstrip('\n')
#number.txt file only contains 1 line and is a 10
increase = "5"
adding = clean + increase
print(adding)
it doesn't do the sum, instead i get the 5 added after the 10
so instead of getting 15 i get 105.
can anyone help?
Welcome to programming. Keep aware of the concepts of data types, I suggest doing some reading on that.
The + operator behaves differently between strings, arrays, and integers.
I would give you the answer but I am guess you are doing this as an assignment of sorts, so I just wanted to point you in the right direction. Use a python debugger (like PyCharm, or Wing IDE) to determine the differences between "5" + "10" 5+10 and [5]+[10]
You need to look into what's called Type Casting
I have a little Problem in Blitzmax.
I try to read an INI-file and if I read floats they are converted in a very strange way.
The line in the file which is concerned looks like that for example:
_fStrength=40.6
The Output of this looks like that:
DebugLog:_fStrength: 40.5999985
The code I use to read that works with reflection and looks like that:
For Local fld:TField = EachIn id.EnumFields()
fld.Set(obj, SearchInFile("TempWeapon" + index, fld.Name(), "Weapons.ini"))
DebugLog(fld.Name() + ": " + String(fld.Get(obj)))
Next
I found out, that this only happens if the number after the "." does not equal's 5 or 0.
I can't explain this behaviour, because if I do not use reflections, it works fine.
Could anyone help me please?
As you probably know, your computer stores numbers in binary code, using a limited size. 40.6 expanded in binary is a periodic sequence (101000.1001100110011001100..., infinitely), similarly to what happens when you try to write down the digits of 1/3) repeating and thus can not be represented exactly, so you get rounding errors.
The number of correct digits you get here looks like you are using single-precision floating point numbers, you can push the error further back by going to double, but it won't disappear.
As a reference, you might find Wikipedia on floating point helpful.
Does any one know how to generate the possible misspelling ?
Example : unemployment
- uemployment
- onemploymnet
-- etc.
If you just want to generate a list of possible misspellings, you might try a tool like this one. Otherwise, in SAS you might be able to use a function like COMPGED to compute a measure of the similarity between the string someone entered, and the one you wanted them to type. If the two are "close enough" by your standard, replace their text with the one you wanted.
Here is an example that computes the Generalized Edit Distance between "unemployment" and a variety of plausible mispellings.
data misspell;
input misspell $16.;
length misspell string $16.;
retain string "unemployment";
GED=compged(misspell, string,'iL');
datalines;
nemployment
uemployment
unmployment
uneployment
unemloyment
unempoyment
unemplyment
unemploment
unemployent
unemploymnt
unemploymet
unemploymen
unemploymenyt
unemploymenty
unemploymenht
unemploymenth
unemploymengt
unemploymentg
unemploymenft
unemploymentf
blahblah
;
proc print data=misspell label;
label GED='Generalized Edit Distance';
var misspell string GED;
run;
Essentially you are trying to develop a list of text strings based on some rule of thumb, such as one letter is missing from the word, that a letter is misplaced into the wrong spot, that one letter was mistyped, etc. The problem is that these rules have to be explicitly defined before you can write the code, in SAS or any other language (this is what Chris was referring to). If your requirement is reduced to this one-wrong-letter scenario then this might be managable; otherwise, the commenters are correct and you can easily create massive lists of incorrect spellings (after all, all combinations except "unemployment" constitute a misspelling of that word).
Having said that, there are many ways in SAS to accomplish this text manipulation (rx functions, some combination of other text-string functions, macros); however, there are probably better ways to accomplish this. I would suggest an external Perl process to generate a text file that can be read into SAS, but other programmers might have better alternatives.
If you are looking for a general spell checker, SAS does have proc spell.
It will take some tweaking to get it working for your situation; it's very old and clunky. It doesn't work well in this case, but you may have better results if you try and use another dictionary? A Google search will show other examples.
filename name temp lrecl=256;
options caps;
data _null_;
file name;
informat name $256.;
input name &;
put name;

uemployment
onemploymnet

proc spell in=name
dictionary=SASHELP.BASE.NAMES
