CForm
CForm
[
expr
]
prints as a C language version of
expr
.
MORE INFORMATION
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:
Possible Issues
(1)
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):
