Evaluate

Usage

Evaluate[expr] causes expr to be evaluated even if it appears as the argument of a function whose attributes specify that it should be held unevaluated.


Notes

• Example: Hold[Evaluate[1 + 1]]LongRightArrow .
• You can use Evaluate to override HoldFirst, etc. attributes of built-in functions.
Evaluate only overrides HoldFirst, etc. attributes when it appears directly as the head of the function argument that would otherwise be held.
• See also: ReleaseHold.
• New in Version 2.
