InputForm

Usage

• InputForm[expr] prints as a version of expr suitable for input to Mathematica.

Notes

• Example: InputForm[x^2 + 1/a]

• InputForm always produces one-dimensional output, suitable to be typed as lines of Mathematica input.

• InputForm acts as a "wrapper", which affects printing, but not evaluation.

• Put (>>) produces InputForm by default.

• Short[InputForm[expr]] can be used, but may generate skeleton objects which cannot be given as Mathematica input.

• The option NumberMarks can be used to specify whether ` marks should be used to indicate type, precision or accuracy of approximate numbers.
