I thought I would try this in ChatGPT since one of the answers sounded
gpt-ish. Quite surprised by the results in terms of level of detail about
what is going on in the routine that it presented. I marked the line that
was needed to make the function of the gpt-answer work:
def printSeries(expIn):
expOut = expIn
expOut = collect(expOut, t)
expList = expOut.as_ordered_terms() # convert expression to list
expList = [i.as_coeff_Mul() for i in expList] # <---- needed this line
expList = [(t, round(coeff, 5)) for coeff, t in expList] # round
coefficients to 5 digits
expList.sort(key=lambda term: term[0].as_poly().degree(),
reverse=True) # sort terms by degree of t
expStr = ' '.join([f"{coeff:.5g} {t}" for t, coeff in expList]) #
format terms as strings
print(expStr)
/c
