How can I get Float from resFloat ? Integer from resInteger, etc. in a *.input file ?

I don't try to get the sub-argument, but the type of the subargument.

Imagine I know that a is an Expression... My function don't know if a is an Expression Float, or an Expression Integer...

I want to do as below in an *.input file:

  Myfunction (a : Expression ...) : String ==
    is a an Expression Integer => "Integer"   -- or an other calculus.
    is a an Expression Franction Integer => "Rationnal"
    is a an Expression Complex ... => "Complex"   -- so I can use real and imag.
    is a an Expression Float => "Float"
    "A rare domain"

This is a bit tricky, since any function in Axiom must have a specific domain as source. The Axiom domain ANY is a coverall. Here is a try:

)set function compile on

Myfunction(a:Any):String ==
  aDom := unparse ((domainOf a)::InputForm)
  substring?("Expression",aDom,1)=>delete(aDom, 1..11)
  "A rare domain"

To use the function, coerce the input to Any, such as:

Myfunction(resInteger::Any)

building on William Sit's ideas --Bill Page, Mon, 20 Mar 2006 20:36:07 -0600 reply

Based on what William suggested above, here is the way I might write the kind of function you want.

dom returns the domain of any expression as an "SExpression?" (SEX). An S-expression is the form used by Lisp and it can represent any expression as a special kind of list.

fricas

MyFunc2(a:ANY):OutputForm==
  if dom(a).1 = "Expression"::Symbol::SEX then
    dom(a).2 = ["Integer"::Symbol::SEX]::SEX =>
      "Integer"
    dom(a).2 = ["Float"::Symbol::SEX]::SEX =>
      "Float"
    dom(a).2 = ["Complex"::Symbol::SEX,["Integer"::Symbol::SEX]::SEX]::SEX =>
      "Complex"
    "A rare domain"
  else
    return hconcat(message("Can not handle: ")$OutputForm,(dom a)::OutputForm)

   Function declaration MyFunc2 : Any -> OutputForm has been added to 
      workspace.

Type: Void

(8)

Type: OutputForm?

fricas

MyFunc2(x::EXPR FRAC INT)

$\label{eq9}\verb#"A rare domain"#$

(9)

Type: OutputForm?

But, now a word of caution: Is this really what you want to do?

In generally, in Axiom we would like to use automatic polymorphism to select the appropriate function. In SPAD the "same" function can be defined many times using different signatures. So for example:

  plus(x::Expression Float):Expression Float == ...

and:

  plus(x::Expression Integer):Expression Integer == ...

can define different behaviours for the function plus depending on the type of the argument.

Unfortunately it is not possible to do this in the Axiom interpreter.

Here is another way using Union and case --Bill Page, Mon, 20 Mar 2006 21:12:25 -0600 reply

Often you can do what you want to do by using the Union type. In some ways it is similar to Any but more specific. This allows you to use the case operation to test membership in the 'Union':

fricas

EI ==> Expression Integer

Type: Void

fricas

EF ==> Expression Float

Type: Void

fricas

ECI ==> Expression Complex Integer

Type: Void

fricas

MyFunc3(a:Union(EI, EF, ECI)):String ==
  a case EI => "Integer";
  a case EF => "Float";
  "Complex Integer"

   Function declaration MyFunc3 : Union(Expression(Integer),Expression(
      Float),Expression(Complex(Integer))) -> String has been added to 
      workspace.

simpler version using ANY --Bill Page, Tue, 21 Mar 2006 00:48:57 -0600 reply

We don't need those complicated looking S-expressions. It is easier just to generate them from a local variable.

fricas

MyFunc4(a:ANY):String==
  myEI:Expression Integer
  myEF:Expression Float
  myECI:Expression Complex Integer
  myEFI:Expression Fraction Integer
  dom(a) = dom(myEI) => "Integer"
  dom(a) = dom(myEF) => "Float"
  dom(a) = dom(myEFI) => "Rational"
  dom(a) = dom(myECI) => "Complex"
  "A rare domain"

By studying

http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/axiom--test--1/src/algebra/AnySpad

we can see how to write this in Spad. Note that the function devaluate returns an S-expression that represents a domain.

spad

)abbrev package MYDOM MyDomain
MyDomain: with
    MyFunc:Any->String
  == add
    MyFunc(a:Any):String==
      myEI==>Expression Integer
      myEF==>Expression Float
      myECI==>Expression Complex Integer
      myEFI==>Expression Fraction Integer
      dom(a) = devaluate(myEI)$Lisp => "Integer"
      dom(a) = devaluate(myEF)$Lisp => "Float"
      dom(a) = devaluate(myEFI)$Lisp => "Rational"
      dom(a) = devaluate(myECI)$Lisp => "Complex"
