Character strings which are pasted together with space separators. The resulting string is passed to sympy. |
retclass |
Character string representing the class of the output or

debug |
Logical. If TRUE then additional debugging info is shown. |
The sympy
function passes
an input string to SymPy and returns the output. The first time
sympy
is invokved in a session it also starts up SymPy by invoking
sympyStart
(which sets the appropriate paths, calls jythonStart
and then imports sympy
). As a result the first invocation of sympy
can be expected to much slower than subsequent ones.
jythonStart
creates
a variable .Jython
which is stored in the global environment
holding the connection information to the SymPy/Jython session.
Internally if the argument
output=TRUE
, the default, input character string
is prefaced with __Rsympy=
so if such preface would cause an error
then ensure that the argument output=FALSE
.
Note that error messages from SymPy appear on the shell/batch console, not on the R console. In the case of an error message the returned value may be wrong.
The character string produced from SymPy.
SymPy is run under Jython, the Java version of Python.
