Hi,
I am trying to learn Python while solving exercises.
I want to basically write a program that inputs a polynomial in standard
algebraic notation and outputs its derivative.
I know that I need to get the exponent somehow, but I am not sure how to
accomplish this in python (3.3)
Do you have any ideas or suggestions? I don't want to use existing modules as
this is meant to be a didactic experience.
Regards
This depends on things you have not yet told us.
In particular -- what "standard algebraic notation"? For x-squared:
x**2 ? or perhaps x^2 ? or something else like some Unicode
characters or HTML to get a small superscript 2 above an x.
Once you give an example of what your input looks like, we can start
hashing out how to read it.
