PROBLEM in function PART, part({x,y^2}) returns → "x"
Syntax:
part(Expr, Integer) Returns the nth sub expression of an expression. If the second argument is empty, returns the number of parts. If the second argument is ZERO, returns the operator if any, otherwise returns the same expression as string samples OK part(sin(x)+cos(y)) → 2 // two parts sin(x) & cos(y) part(sin(x)+cos(y),1) → sin(x) // first part part(sin(x)+cos(y),2) → cos(y) // second part part(sin(x)+cos(y),3) → "nonexistent part in the expression" part(sin(x)+cos(y),0) → "+" // operator between parts part( part(sin(x)+cos(y),1)) → 1 // number of parts of the first part part( part(sin(x)+cos(y),2)) → 1 // number of parts of the second part part( part(sin(x)+cos(y),1),1) → x // firts part of the firts part, sin(x)→ x part( part(sin(x)+cos(y),2),1) → y // firts part of the second part, cos(y)→ y part( part(sin(x)+cos(y),1),0) → "sin" // operator of the firts part, sin(x)→ "sin" part( part(sin(x)+cos(y),2),0) → "cos" // operator of the second part, cos(x)→ "cos" part(sin(x)) → 1 // one part part(sin(x),1) → x // first part part(sin(x),0) → "sin" // operator "sin" part(part(exp(x)*sin(x) + cos(x),1),2) → sin(x) // second part of the first part exp(x)*sin(x) → sin(x) part(part(exp(x)*sin(x) + cos(x),1),0) → "*" // operator of the first part exp(x)*sin(x) → "*" part(part(exp(x)*sin(x) + cos(x),2),0) → "cos" // operator of the second part cos(x)→ "cos" part(part(exp(x)*sin(x) + cos(x),2),1) → "x" part(part(exp(x)*sin(x) + cos(x),1)) → 2 part(part(exp(x)*sin(x) + cos(x),1),1) → exp(x) part(part(part(e^x*sin(x) + cos(x),1),1),1) → x part(part(part(e^x*sin(x) + cos(x),1),1),0) → "exp" special cases part(-X) → 1 // one parts part(-X,1) → 1 // firts part, X part(-X,0) → "-" // operator "-" part(X1) → 0 // No parts part(X1,0) → "X1" part(-1) → 0 // No parts OK part(-X,0) → "-1" part(-5!) → 0 // No parts OK part(-5!,0)) → "-120" -------------- BUG part(e^x) → 1 // must be 2, e & x, with "^" operator, no consistency with string(e^x) -> "e^x" and not "exp(x)", this generates problems within a program code |

RE: possible BUG in function PART, part(e^x) → 1
not a bug, because e^x is exp(x)

RE:
If the function tells me that no parts, why accepts argument 1?
part(X1) → 0 // No parts, OK part(X1,0) → 0 // "X1" OK part(X1,1) → X1 ??? this is also an inconsistency |

RE: possible BUG in function PART, part(e^x) → 1
Why? I can consider an object which is not an expression as an expression without root-node operator and argument itself.

RE:
Why returns "x"
part({x,y^2}) returns → "x" BUG? → 2 elements or 2 parts, ok part([x,y^2]) → "x" BUG? → 1 row or 1 part, ok part([[9,8],[7,6]]) → "[9,8]" BUG? → 2 rows or 2 parts, ok |

RE: possible BUG in function PART, part(e^x) → 1
You should use type before running part. The behaviour of part on non symbolic objects is not warranted.

I do not understand. the following part({x,y^2}) is a list of math symbolic objects, the output functions must be guaranteed and must be accurate otherwise a CAS does not work part("hello") "Error: Bad Argument Value" // OK, "hello" is not a math symbolic object anyone else think of the examples above |
