NumberCompose

NumberCompose[{c1,,cn},{u1,,un}]

returns the quantity c1 u1++cn un.

Details

  • The basis {u1,,un} is typically a list of nonincreasing positive numbers.
  • In NumberCompose[clist,ulist] the length of clist can be smaller than the length of ulist, and then clist is effectively padded with zeros on the left.
