Hello, I'm interested in doing a bunch of timing, so I'd like to put %time or %timeit statements inside a loop. But there's a problem: if I type out something like
sage: for n in [1..5]:
....: print 'n is %d' % n
....: %time N(pi**n)
....:
I get the expected output, but if I want to change something -- say, pi
to sqrt(2), if I hit the up arrow twice and edit the lines, I get this:
sage: for n in [1..5]:
print 'n is %d' % n
%time N(sqrt(2)**n)
------------------------------------------------------------
File "<ipython console>", line 3
%time N(sqrt(2)**n)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I know the % functions are special IPython things, but why do they work
when I type things in manually, but not when I hit the arrows to go
back?
