I am aware of the \xb function in python, but it does not seem to work for me. I am aware that I may need to download a third party module to accomplish this, if so, which one would be best?
I am currently writing a binomial expansion solver, to try and use skills which I am teaching myself. The problem arises when I attempt to display the user input-ed expansion to the use for confirmation. Currently I am having to print the expression like so:
var1 = input("Enter a: ")
var2 = input("Enter b: ")
exponent = input("Enter n: ")
a = int(var1)
b = int(var2)
n = int(exponent)
expression = ('(%(1)dx%(2)d)^%(3)d') %\
{'1' : a, '2' : b, '3' : n}
print(expression)
confirmation = input(str("Is this correctt? Y/N "))
This prints (2x4)^5, whereas I'd prefer the index to be printed as superscript. How can this be done?
You could use sympy module that does necessary formatting for you. It supports many formats such as ascii, unicode, latex, mathml, etc:
from sympy import pretty_print as pp, latex
from sympy.abc import a, b, n
expr = (a*b)**n
pp(expr) # default
pp(expr, use_unicode=True)
print(latex(expr))
print(expr.evalf(subs=dict(a=2,b=4,n=5)))
n
(a*b)
n
(a⋅b)
$\left(a b\right)^{n}$
