Questions about built-in/custom parsers or parsing techniques.
E.g.:
kernel+parsing about converting strings/boxes to expressions, symbols lookup (contexts) etc.
frontend+parsing about intepretation of boxes on the FronEnd side, could also be about syntax highlighter but we have a more localized syntax-highlighting
Introduction
This is really a parsing question. But the context is that
given the right side of first order ode, I want to automatically
determine the class of the RHS. It can be either separable, or linear.
If it is none of these, then I can do…
expr//HoldForm usually returns identical expressions as input, but sometimes parenthesis are inserted. I tried to interpret this behavior as an attempt to eliminate ambiguity, but some observation shows that it does not seem to be the real purpose.…
I have a function $F$ taking arbitrarily many arguments from ${a,c,z}$ where practically (technically it isn't) $a$ works as an opening bracket and $z$ as a closing. ($c$ stands for a value.) Double brackets around a value shall cancel, but if I…
How is a~b parsed and evaluated? I would expect an error, but it goes through without any complaints, yielding no apparent output. At first I thought it evaluated to Null, but then I realized every expression I've tried containing a~b (either…
My goal is to solve $(\alpha - \dfrac{1}{\alpha}) - (\beta- \dfrac{1}{\beta}) = \dfrac 1 n$ where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are rational and $n$ is a positive integer. Towards finding a particular solution, we will let
$\beta = \dfrac{u}{v \alpha}$ where…
Upon opening a .wl file someone send me I noticed that about 20 seconds were spend parsing the file. Sometimes it spends less time doing so for much bigger files. Upon looking up the term "parsing" in the documentation center I found no information…
