evaluation - Some _atomic elements' TreeForm looks confusing with Level in appearance


In[1]:= Level[1/2,{-1}]
Out[1]= {1/2}


TreeForm[1/2]

enter image description here




In[2]:= Level[1/2,{-1}]
Out[2]= {1/2}

In[3]:= Level[Unevaluated[1/2],{-1}]
Out[3]= {1,2,-1}


In[4]:= 1/2//FullForm
Out[5]//FullForm= Rational[1,2]

Rational[1,2] in TreeForm,but Times[1,Power[2,-1]] when Level.


In[5]:= Level[Unevaluated[1/2],{-1},Heads->True]
Out[5]= {Times,1,Power,2,-1}

How to comprehend this? How to obtain TreeForm[Hold@Unevaluated[1/2]] without Hold and Uevaluated in whole TreeForm's graph or TreeForm@{{{Hold[1/2],b}},b,c} with out hold? enter image description here


And How to get {1,2} from Level[1/2, {-1}]?




Answer



There is an evaluation leak in TreeForm that requires a double-Unevaluated to circumvent:


TreeForm[Unevaluated @ Unevaluated[1/2]]

enter image description here


The second question is more troublesome. Because Rational is an atomic object Level does not extract its conceptual sub-parts. This is true of other atomic objects as well:


sa = SparseArray @ Range @ 5;
Level[sa, {-1}]



{SparseArray[<5>,{5}]}

The only thing I can think of is a conversion to held FullForm as follows:


Level[MakeExpression @ ToBoxes @ FullForm[1/2], {-1}]


{1, 2}

Level[MakeExpression @ ToBoxes @ FullForm[sa], {-1}]



{Automatic, 5, 0, 1, 0, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

How to thread a list

I have data in format data = {{a1, a2}, {b1, b2}, {c1, c2}, {d1, d2}} Tableform: I want to thread it to : tdata = {{{a1, b1}, {a2, b2}}, {{a1, c1}, {a2, c2}}, {{a1, d1}, {a2, d2}}} Tableform: And I would like to do better then pseudofunction[n_] := Transpose[{data2[[1]], data2[[n]]}]; SetAttributes[pseudofunction, Listable]; Range[2, 4] // pseudofunction Here is my benchmark data, where data3 is normal sample of real data. data3 = Drop[ExcelWorkBook[[Column1 ;; Column4]], None, 1]; data2 = {a #, b #, c #, d #} & /@ Range[1, 10^5]; data = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {10^6, 4}]; Here is my benchmark code kptnw[list_] := Transpose[{Table[First@#, {Length@# - 1}], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list kptnw2[list_] := Transpose[{ConstantArray[First@#, Length@# - 1], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list OleksandrR[list_] := Flatten[Outer[List, List@First[list], Rest[list], 1], {{2}, {1, 4}}] paradox2[list_] := Partition[Riffle[list[[1]], #], 2] & /@ Drop[list, 1] RM[list_] := FoldList[Transpose[{First@li...

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...
