CAssign
CAssign[lhs,rhs]
is a symbolic representation of an assignment statement.
Details and Options
- SymbolicC expressions are inert; they evaluate to themselves, staying in an unevaluated form.
- SymbolicC expressions can be converted into a C string with ToCCodeString.
- The right-hand side of the assignment can be a list. This is useful for initializing an array.
Examples
Basic Examples (1)Summary of the most common use cases
To use SymbolicC you first need to load the package:
