Pattern
Usage
• s:obj represents the pattern object obj, assigned the name s.
Notes
• The name s must be a symbol. • The object obj can be any pattern object. • When a transformation rule is used, any occurrence of s on the right-hand side is replaced by whatever expression it matched on the left-hand side. • The operator : has a comparatively low precedence. The expression x:_+_ is thus interpreted as x:(_+_), not (x:_)+_. • The form s_ is equivalent to s:_. Similarly, s_h is equivalent to s:_h, s__ to s:__, and so on. • New in Version 1.
