InputForm
InputForm[
expr
] prints as a version of expr suitable for input to Mathematica.
Example: InputForm[x^2 + 1/a] .
InputForm always produces one-dimensional output, suitable to be typed as lines of Mathematica input.
InputForm acts as a "wrapper", which affects printing, but not evaluation.
Put (>>) produces InputForm by default.
Short[InputForm[
expr
]] can be used, but may generate skeleton objects which cannot be given as Mathematica input.
The option NumberMarks can be used to specify whether ` marks should be used to indicate type, precision or accuracy of approximate numbers.
See the Mathematica book: Section 1.9.4, Section 1.10.9, Section 2.8.1.
See also: OutputForm, FullForm, StandardForm.
Further Examples
Here is a Mathematica expression; both input and output are in StandardForm.
In[1]:= 
Out[1]= 
This gives the InputForm.
In[2]:= 
Out[2]//InputForm=
