CForm

CForm[expr]
prints as a C language version of expr.
  • Standard arithmetic functions and certain control structures are translated.
  • No declarations are generated.
  • CForm acts as a "wrapper", which affects printing, but not evaluation.

Splice can be used to convert expressions in a file:
The following C file contains the unevaluated integral:
Splice inserts the result of the integral:
The spliced file:
Additional C function definitions may be needed to run the code:
Here is a template for such an include file (shown on a typical Windows installation):
