Pattern

Usage

s:obj represents the pattern object obj, assigned the name s.


Notes

• The name s must be a symbol.
• The object obj can be any pattern object.
• When a transformation rule is used, any occurrence of s on the right-hand side is replaced by whatever expression it matched on the left-hand side.
• The operator : has a comparatively low precedence. The expression x:_+_ is thus interpreted as x:(_+_), not (x:_)+_.
• The form s_ is equivalent to s:_. Similarly, s_h is equivalent to s:_h, s__ to s:__, and so on.
• New in Version 1.
