    Further Examples

    The function g depends on f.

    In[1]:=

    In[2]:=

    The definition of f is not shown here.

    In[3]:=

    Global`g

    g[x_] := f[x] - f[x - 1]

    Now we see everything associated with g.

    In[4]:=

    Out[4]=

    We tidy up by clearing the functions.

    In[5]:=
