Blocks Compared with Modules (Mathematica Tutorial)

When you write a program in Mathematica, you should always try to set it up so that its parts are as independent as possible. In this way, the program will be easier for you ...

Characters in Strings (Mathematica Tutorial)

Converting between strings and lists of characters. This gives a list of the characters in the string. You can apply standard list manipulation operations to this list.

How Input and Output Work (Mathematica Tutorial)

Steps in the operation of Mathematica. When you type something like x^2 what Mathematica at first sees is just the string of characters x, ^, 2. But with the usual way that ...
