Methods Summary

r_adapt_map(func)	Recursive map where the func decides callables used to transform children
r_map(func)	Recursively maps a function over the expression tree
sorted()	Returns a sorted copy of an expression for structural comparison.
syntactic_eq(other)	Test whether two Expressions are syntactically identical (structural compare without sorting first)
to_latex()

Methods Documentation

r_adapt_map(func)

Recursive map where the func decides callables used to transform children

DO NOT USE! This is a powerful and necessary method but it results in almost unreadable code.

So, func takes an AbstractExpression and needs to return a tuple of two things. First, a function A which maps from AbstractExpression to AbstractExpression. Second, a function B of the same time as func.

At each level of recursion, func will be called on an expression E to get A and B. This method, r_adapt_map will then be called on the children of E with B as input (if B is None, recursion terminates). An expression of the same type as E is then constructed with the results of the recursive calls using B, and A is applied to the result.

Parameters:

func (function) – A function that takes an AbstractExpression and returns two functions (see desc)

r_map(func)

Recursively maps a function over the expression tree

sorted()

Returns a sorted copy of an expression for structural comparison.

syntactic_eq(other)

Test whether two Expressions are syntactically identical (structural compare without sorting first)
