Maxima Function

Calling Sequence

example (topic)
example()

Description

example (topic) displays some examples of topic, which is a symbol (not a string). Most topics are function names. example () returns the list of all recognized topics.

The name of the file containing the examples is given by the global variable manual_demo, which defaults to "manual.demo".

example quotes its argument. example returns done unless there is an error or there is no argument, in which case example returns the list of all recognized topics.

Examples:

(%i1) example (append);
(%i2) append([x+y,0,-3.2],[2.5E+20,x])
(%o2)             [y + x, 0, - 3.2, 2.5E+20, x]
(%o2)                         done
(%i3) example (coeff);
(%i4) coeff(b+tan(x)+2*a*tan(x) = 3+5*tan(x),tan(x))
(%o4)                      2 a + 1 = 5
(%i5) coeff(1+x*%e^x+y,x,0)
(%o5)                         y + 1
(%o5)                         done
