Symbol
Usage
• Symbol["name"] refers to a symbol with the specified name.
Notes
• All symbols, whether explicitly entered using Symbol or not, have head Symbol. • x_Symbol can be used as a pattern to represent any symbol. • The string "name" in Symbol["name"] must be an appropriate name for a symbol. It can contain any letters, letter-like forms, or digits, but cannot start with a digit. • Symbol["name"] creates a new symbol if none exists with the specified name. • A symbol such as x has a name "x". • If Symbol["name"] creates a new symbol, it does so in the context specified by $Context. • New in Version 1.
