5.1.100 printf
Procedure from library standard.lib (see standard_lib).
- Syntax:
printf ( string_expression [, any_expressions] )
- Return:
- none
- Purpose:
printf(fmt,...); performs output formatting. The first
argument is a format control string. Additional arguments may be
required, depending on the content of the control string. A series
of output characters is generated as directed by the control string;
these characters are displayed (i.e., printed to standard out).
The control string fmt is simply text to be copied, except
that the string may contain conversion specifications.
Do help print; for a listing of valid conversion
specifications. As an addition to the conversions of print ,
the %n and %2 conversion specification does not
consume an additional argument, but simply generates a newline
character.
- Note:
- If one of the additional arguments is a list, then it should be
enclosed once more into a
list() command, since passing a
list as an argument flattens the list by one level.
Example:
| ring r=0,(x,y,z),dp;
module m=[1,y],[0,x+z];
intmat M=betti(mres(m,0));
list l=r,m,M;
printf("s:%s,l:%l",1,2);
==> s:1,l:int(2)
printf("s:%s",l);
==> s:(0),(x,y,z),(dp(3),C)
printf("s:%s",list(l));
==> s:(0),(x,y,z),(dp(3),C),y*gen(2)+gen(1),x*gen(2)+z*gen(2),1,1
printf("2l:%2l",list(l));
==> 2l:list("(0),(x,y,z),(dp(3),C)",
==> module(y*gen(2)+gen(1),
==> x*gen(2)+z*gen(2)),
==> intmat(intvec(1,1 ),1,2))
==>
printf("%p",list(l));
==> [1]:
==> // characteristic : 0
==> // number of vars : 3
==> // block 1 : ordering dp
==> // : names x y z
==> // block 2 : ordering C
==> [2]:
==> _[1]=y*gen(2)+gen(1)
==> _[2]=x*gen(2)+z*gen(2)
==> [3]:
==> 1,1
==>
printf("%;",list(l));
==> [1]:
==> // characteristic : 0
==> // number of vars : 3
==> // block 1 : ordering dp
==> // : names x y z
==> // block 2 : ordering C
==> [2]:
==> _[1]=y*gen(2)+gen(1)
==> _[2]=x*gen(2)+z*gen(2)
==> [3]:
==> 1,1
==>
printf("%b",M);
==> 0 1
==> ------------------
==> 0: 1 1
==> ------------------
==> total: 1 1
