[HP PPL] Concatenation inside CAS(..) command does not work

Use expr like this:

Code:

    expression:="2^3";
    d:=CAS(expr(expression));

However, this still won't work in your case because PPL program cannot return symbolic results (Home doesn't work with symbols).

Programs that operate on symbolic expressions should be written in CAS, not PPL.

I was actually able to work by receiving the symbolic function as a string argument on input, then solving integrals and derivatives using the CAS. prefix:

Code:


  if input(
  {{f, [2]}, {var, [2]}, {lower,[2]}, {upper,[2]}},
        "Prob Ψ",
        {"Ψ=", "var=", "lower=", "upper="}
      )
  then

    f := "(" + f + ")^2";
    e := "∫(" + f + ", " + var + ", " + lower + ", " + upper + ")";
    result:= CAS.expr(e);
    result:= CAS.simplify(result);
    return result;
  end;

That worked best on real calculator.
