Math expressions syntax

Numbers

Numbers from 0 to 9 can be used in maths expressions.

Examples: 2, 32, …

Variables

Variables are a letter from a to z or a letter of greek alphabet. Warning: name can be only one character long!

Examples: a, x, …

Variables with an index

You can give an index to a variable using an _ (underscore) after the name. An index can be only one number or one letter.

Examples: x_1, x_2, …

Functions

Variable can be also a function of a variable if you name it like f(x). Then you can use it with any expression like f(2).

Examples: f(x), g(z), …

Operations

What would be maths without operations between numbers? You can use classic operations: + (addition), - (subtraction), * (multiplication) and / (division).

Examples: x + 1, 1 / x, …

Hidden multiplications

Want to write 2x instead of 2 * x? You can! Delta: Algorithms supports hidden multiplications.

Examples: 2x, x(x + 1), …

Powers and square roots

You can also use ^ (power) and (square root) in your expressions. If the expression after the operation sign is a composed expression, please add () (braces) to it. (see examples)

Examples: x ^ 2, 2√2, √(x+1), …

Modulo

Modulo (remainder of a division) is available with %. For exemple, 5 % 2 will return 1 because 5 = 2 * 2 + 1.

Examples: 5 % 2, a % b, …

Equations

Having two expressions seperated with an equation operator will be considerated as an equation. You can use = (equals), != (unequals), > (greater than), < (less than), >= (greater than or equals) and <= (less than or equals).

Examples: x = 2, 2a < 5, …

Lists and sets

You can create a list/set of expressions using {}, separating expressions with , (comma).

Examples: {2, 4, 6}, {x, 2x, 3x}, …

Create algorithms

Variable: Ask for variable with default value

Create a cell to set a value to the variable for algorithm process.

Example: Ask for a with default 1

ParameterRole
variableVariable name
valueDefault value in the cell

Variable: Set variable to value

Set the value of the variable when called.

Example: Set n to n + 1

ParameterRole
variableVariable name
valueValue given to the variable

Variable: Unset variable

Unset the variable when called.

Example: Unset n

ParameterRole
variableVariable name

Structure: If condition

If the condition is true, the code between If and Else will be executed. Else, the code between Else and End will be executed.

Example: If a = 1

ParameterRole
conditionThe equation that will be checked

Structure: While condition

The code between While and End will be repeated while the condition is true.

Example: While a < 10

ParameterRole
conditionThe equation that will be checked

Structure: For variable in list

The code between For and End will be repeated for each value of the list, available in a variable.

Example: For x in {0, 1, 2}

ParameterRole
variableThe variable containing the current value
listThe list of values to iterate

Output: Print variable variable

Print in a cell the value of the variable or the expression.

Example: Print variable x

ParameterRole
variableVariable name or expression

Output: Print approximated value of variable

Print in a cell the approximated value of the variable or the expression, if possible.

Example: Print approximated value of e ^ 2

ParameterRole
variableVariable name or expression

Output: Print text text

Print in a cell the given text. You can use "" to print a variable in the text.

Example: Print text "n" is even

ParameterRole
textText to be printed

List: Create list variable

Create an empty list in the given variable.

Example: Create list l

ParameterRole
variableVariable name

List: Add value to variable

Add a value to the list

Example: Add 2 to l

ParameterRole
valueValue to add to the list
variableVariable containing the list

List: Remove value from variable

Remove a value from the list

Example: Remove 2 from l

ParameterRole
valueValue to remove from the list
variableVariable containing the list

Quiz: Init quiz text

Init quiz with a title. You can use "" to print a variable in the text.

Example: Init quiz Solve the equation:

ParameterRole
textTitle of the quiz

Quiz: Add text text

Add text to quiz.

Example: Add text "ax + b" = 0

ParameterRole
textText to be printed

Quiz: Add input text with correct as correct answer

Example: Add input x with -b / a as correct answer

ParameterRole
textText for this value
correctCorrect value
