Package Bulletproofing (Mathematica Guide)

Mathematica makes it easy to "bulletproof" packages, and prevent features of their environment from affecting their internal operation.

CheckAbort (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

CheckAbort[expr, failexpr] evaluates expr, returning failexpr if an abort occurs.

CreateDirectory (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

CreateDirectory["dir"] creates a directory with name dir. CreateDirectory[] creates a directory in the default area for temporary directories on your computer system.

DiracComb (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

DiracComb[x] represents the Dirac comb function giving a delta function at every integer point. DiracComb[x_1, x_2, ...] represents the multidimensional Dirac comb function.

DivideBy (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

x /= c divides x by c and returns the new value of x.

HoldPattern (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

HoldPattern[expr] is equivalent to expr for pattern matching, but maintains expr in an unevaluated form.

IntervalMemberQ (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

IntervalMemberQ[interval, x] gives True if the number x lies within the specified interval, and False otherwise. IntervalMemberQ[interval_1, interval_2] gives True if ...

SaveDefinitions (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

SaveDefinitions is an option to Manipulate and related functions that specifies whether current definitions relevant for the evaluation of the expression being manipulated ...

StackBegin (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

StackBegin[expr] evaluates expr, starting a fresh evaluation stack.

StackInhibit (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

StackInhibit[expr] evaluates expr without modifying the evaluation stack.
