Symbolics within a programming box

Hello all,

is it possible to use symbolics calculation within a programming box in MathCad Prime 3.1? In particular I'd need to solve an equation using symbolics evaluation (float,32) and use the obtained result,that is a real number, for further calculation within the same programming box.

Thank you!

Thanks! I think that it works well when there is a single expression within the box; here, in my example, I would like to apply symbolic calculation only to "nchoosek" formula (within the programming box) but it seems not to be possible (as also Stuart says below) . When I evaluate symbolically the whole programming box, the result is not what I need.

Just to add to Valery's answer, AFAIA, you can't do individual symbolic calculations within a program. Mathcad calculates the entire program symbollically (or numerically).

No. This was possible, via a copy and paste workaround because it was an unintended feature, back in Mathcad 11. It violated Mathsoft's agreement with Maplesoft.though, so in Mathcad 12 the ability to do this was removed. It has never been put back, even after the symbolic engine was changed to Mupad.
