If you do sage: RealNumber=float sage: Integer=int before defining the functions, the ode solver runs dramatically faster. This is because the function calls get much cheaper as nothing is accidentally in RR or ZZ. On Jan 29, 11:55 pm, "Fabio Tonti" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Would be nice if

[sage-devel] Beefing up the VMware image and ncurses admin menu

[sage-devel] forall and exists cannot be used as predicate

2008-01-30 Thread Nils Bruin
Presently, because forall and exists return tuples rather than booleans, their return value is always True, so they cannot be used as a predicate, which is very unintuitive given their names. Proposed solution: optional parameter witness (default: False) that determines return value type. Ticket

Hmm... witness is very unintuitive; maybe we can think up a better name. Also, there are functions in Python which have similar functionality. sage: l = [1,2,3] sage: any([i == 2 for i in l]) True sage: all([i == 2 for i in l]) False --Mike On Jan 30, 2008 2:45 PM, Nils Bruin <[EMAIL PROTECTED
