Online Algebra Calculator
Many of users do not use powerful Maxima computer algebra system for systematic work, but for ad hoc algebraic calculations – equations, functions, matrixes, etc. only. To do this job, it is not useful to download the whole application from a web site.
-- Option variable: inchar Default value: %i
inchar is the prefix of the labels of expressions entered by the user. Maxima automatically constructs a label for each input expression by concatenating inchar and linenum.
inchar may be assigned any string or symbol, not necessarily a single character. Because Maxima internally takes into account only the first char of the prefix, the prefixes inchar, outchar, and linechar should have a different first char. Otherwise some commands like kill(inlables) do not work as expected.
(%i1) inchar: "input";
(%o1) input
(input1) expand ((a+b)^3);
3 2 2 3
(%o1) b + 3 a b + 3 a b + a
(input2) See also labels.
