Algosim documentation: InputForm

InputForm

Returns a textual representation of an object in Algosim syntax.

Syntax

Description

If X is any object, then InputForm(X) returns a textual representation of X, as accurate as possible, in a format that mimics Algosim’s own syntax. Hence, in most cases the result can be used as input to yield the original object, or something very close (numerically) to it.

Examples

InputForm(IdentityMatrix(3))
❨❨1, 0, 0❩, ❨0, 1, 0❩, ❨0, 0, 1❩❩
InputForm("These answers are ""wrong"":")
"These answers are ""wrong"":"
InputForm(time())
structure("hour": 17, "minute": 23, "second": 7, "millisecond": 414)
