In[1]:= Head[2] Out[1]= Integer In[2]:= Head[1/3] Out[2]= Rational In[3]:= Head[2/1] Out[3]= Integer -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
