PLUGIN UPDATED SMath Studio 0.97.5346 and later

- SS-2315: cases() doesn't allow creating third row;
- cases(3) used by default instead of cases(1);

PLUGIN UPDATED SMath Studio 0.98.5952 Nightly Build only

Please note: if you have it, update of Custom Glyphs plugin is mandatory to make everything working fine (hidden functions removed, no more interactions between these plugins since this SS version)

- now it is possible to delete placeholders;
- adding placeholders now is "one-by-one" -> will be displayed a non-working cases() when you add or delete a placeholder;

Davide, could you plese update the cases() function to work with units on the RHS? Hugely usefull when integrating piecewise physical properties.

Thank you!

Alex, the 1st condition in your cases() is wrong in both the functions.

You are using 1*'m≤x≤5*'m that bracketed it is (1*'m≤x)≤5*'m; this obviously fails because when you insert 2'm, the result is (1)≤5*'m, hence the "units don't match" error; note that in the 2nd case the error is silent (you will have always 0≤5 or 1≤5).
If you want to have the ternary operator for readability, use lele(...) from the same plugin, that does the job in the right way for you (lele(B,A,C)=(A≤&(B≤C)).

- added image2rgb() / image2rgba();

The function at() seems to have a problem similar to those observed in the maxima plugin.

I prefer the compactum style.

Hi. I guess that args for cases must to be unevaluated, like those if statements above. That's not only for errors, also for improve the speed of cases, which seems to eval all options before give the answer.

Best regards.

I suppose you may want to vote for SS-2316.

I can't comment wrt your actual version. "cases" does not come with OFFicial 5346,
but is available with the UNofficial 5346. The gorgeous application [made work by
Davide] is the convolution. I tried "cases" in other work sheets and failed.
I toke the plunge to install 5935 ... that killed most of 5346 work sheets.
More nightly build, more incompatibility and less projects working.

Not enough collabs publish working projects.

... there is more to test: as is, 5346 X_Y plot does not support "if/else".
What about plotting some discontinuous from your prefered nightly build ?

Thank you Martin, I'll work on it ASAP.

As mentioned by Mike, this is addressed under SS-2316. As for now to evaluate only the function for the target condition you have to use eval() inside functions or numerical optimization outside functions.

I can't reproduce the first error shown in your picture, what plugin version are you running and in what SMath Studio?

Hi Davide. In the attached, with background are all errors "division by zero" cases_error.sm (98,13 KiB) descargado 1625 vez(es).in version 0.98 b5935 (last stable build, as I understand). Plugin version 1.1.5947.155599

Best regards.

Thank you, I can reproduce. This is before the SS-2318 implementation. In this case, you have to switch the optimization to numeric (symbolic uses the boolean sum and SMath ignores that x is a function's argument). If the function is behind a line, you have to wrap it in a eval().

- fixed at(2) at(3);
- Unknowns now skips the "iterator" argument of diff/int/sum/product functions;

Hello Davide
Sorry to be thick but I need some help with the cases function.

When I type case( or enter cases from the Insert Function… menu, only two lines are placed on the worksheet:
https://smath.com/wiki/GetFile.aspx?File=forum_attach%2fbdrunagle%2fcases_if_otherwise.png
and I don't know how to add extra if cases.

I've tried dragging corners, as for adding array rows, but with no success. How can I add more cases?

Smath: 0.98.5997
Custom Functions: 1.1.5981.13453
Custom Glyphs: 1.1.5973.13108

Many thanks

Brian

Hi bdrunagle. Try to write , (or ; if you have this as separator) inside the placeholder of cases. This give you the new extra lines. But be carefull, after inserted, can't be deleted. (Must to copy and paste to new one cases).

Best regards.

Alvaro.

Correct

Since some nightly build it is possible (the cost is that you cannot insert a line at once, you have to press the argument separator twice)

That's seems a very cheap price.
