I was looking at https://fricas.github.io/book.pdf and on page 149  it 
gives examples of what it calls pile programming

   if h > 3.1 then 
        1.0 
   else 
        z := cos (h) 
        max (z ,0.5)

So there is no *end if* in Fricas? Similar thing I noticed in other 
constructs. There is no explicit end.

It seems Fricas is similar to Python in this, in that it uses spaces and 
indentations for when a construct end.

I do not like this myself. I think having an explicit *end* make the code 
and the algorithm more clear, instead of just depending on using spaces.

I know very little about programming in Fricas. Is this the only mode of 
programming in Fricas?   Why not have an explicit end? Was this a choice 
made long time ago for the Fricas language?
