Shallow
Shallow[expr]
prints as a shallow form of expr.
Shallow[expr, depth]
prints with all parts of expr below the specified depth given in skeleton form.
Shallow[expr, {depth, length}]
also gives parts whose lengths are above the specified limit in skeleton form.
Shallow[expr, {depth, length}, form]
uses skeleton form for any parts that match the pattern form.
Details
- Omitted sequences of elements are given as Skeleton objects, which print in the form
k
. - In StandardForm, the characters used for this output are \[LeftSkeleton] and \[RightSkeleton].
- Depth and length can be specified as Infinity.
- Shallow[expr] is equivalent to Shallow[expr, {4, 10}].
- Shallow acts as a "wrapper", which affects printing, but not evaluation.
- Trying to feed k as obtained from Shallow back as input to Mathematica in StandardForm will generate an error.
