Putting into Parentheses.

[lvl107]

Hi,
I have a question (is similar to the one is in the past.) need help (in Mathcad 12).

Thanks in advance.

So what do you want?

Just to indicate the non-matches?

Mike

Mike, I just need help writting a function with "Showing the Parentheses in the Output" like as "Lottery Tickets and Adding The Quotation Marks" was mentioned in couple of week ago. I was also wondering whether, is it possible ?. Showing the Parentheses to the non-match ( or XOR(A,B) ).

Thanks again.

Regards, -LL-

[MikeArmstrong]

It can be done.

I'll have a look tomorrow.

Refering to the Lottery ticket response by Richard,

you can repalce the function num2str(num) with format("( {0} )",num)

and you will get " (num) ", but I don't think you can get rid of the " " which designate a string.

[lvl107]

Wayne, following to your suggestion, its showing :

Thanks to your response.

Loi Le,

Use the format() function from the Insert>function menu.

also the Lottery example was written for A which was a matrix of vectors, not a single vector.

I made some changes in the attached,

Wayne,

My Mathcad 12 cannot open your attached. Could you (or someone) please "Save as" the attached to MC 11 or MC 12. Wayne, I am really beginner in Mathcad Usage.
Thanks in advance for your time.

[MikeArmstrong]

I have slightly modified Wayne's function so both arrays are returned, see attached.

I'm sure it can be done a different way - will attempt after the F1 .

Mike,
It seems that my MC12 don't have a build-in format function, and its showing :

Could you please show the image of the output of function (Wayne's).
Thanks for your time again.

[wayne]

Saved as 12

[RichardJ]

Here are a couple of options that will work in MC12

[lvl107]

Richard, thanks for your help. Now I can see the output.

Thanks again.

[MikeArmstrong]

I'm not sure if the format function has been added in later versions of Mathcad.

Richard?

Mike,

The output of the function in your worksheet (Wayne's suggestion), it seems to be "Marking to the match".

Sorry, I forgot to changed it round.

Have you got your answer now?

Mike

[lvl107]

Mike,
I really don't know how to create a nested array : ( num ) is in this case.

Could you tell me about that : (there are the shortcut-key to create ...)

Oh, I almost forget : Now I have got my answer. (Thanks to all who replied...)

Thanks in advance for your time.

I think Richard just made a typo, he actually made a matirx with a single element.

num = 5 a:=( num ), then a = ( 5 )

for a nested array, do again: A:=( a ), the A= ({1,1})

[lvl107]

Wayne,

I appreciate your help. I follow your instruction above but it happens a = 5 and I still don't get that. Please tell me how to make a matrix with a single element as Richard did in Mathcad12, attach wiht mcd worksheet. (Sorry about my English as a Second Language is very little).
Thanks in advance.

Please tell me how to make a matrix with a single element as Richard did in Mathcad12

There is no direct way to do it. You have to cheat a little. Type:

x[0:0

x=

The answer is a single element array. Copy and paste that to where you want it, and then change the contents.

[lvl107]

Richard, to my MC12, doing so sometime work, sometime don't, and I have to wait for several seconds and "Interrupt Processing". Anyway, I prefer this way.

Thanks again.

Regards, -LL-

[lvl107]

Richard, I have just understood your instruction and it always works well. (without "Interrupt Processing")

Thanks again.

[RichardJ]

All I meant was this:

which certainly shouldn't cause any problems. Unless x is already defined, perhaps, in which cas use "xx" instead.

[wayne]

See the attached.
But also see Mathcad Help for matrices.

[RichardJ]

"For a single element matrix, just insert 1 column and 1 row".

That's not allowed in earlier versions.

[MikeArmstrong]

Nice explanation.

I think it would be a good idea for Mathcad to look at adding some kind of conditional formatting, similiar to Excel. Maybe not adding background colours, just being able to make certain results bold, underlined, Italic....ect.

This has come up several times. For now, scripted components to the rescue. Again!

It would be nice if we didn't have to keep relying on scripted components to do some of these often desired tasks!

[MikeArmstrong]

I have seen that worksheet before. I was meaning something like below.

Maybe it could have an array with mixed Math fonts???? There must be an easy way to program it.

Mike

[RichardJ]

There's no way to programmatically set the math font though (well there is, but it would require yet another function besed on a scripted component!).

Would be a nice feature if implemented.

Could base it on the Excel feature. Maybe now have it as I have shown above, maybe a component.
