Mathematica

Unable to add decimals/adding text?

James Davis, Electroimpact
Posted 11 years ago

I have a code that is supposed to be able to determine the variation in some measurements. When I went to plot it it didn't plot. On further inspection it appears for some reason Mathematica is decinding not to add some decimals, leaving the result in the form "45.8654 (0.05 - 0.00012397 ) + 0.260788 " (note the spaces). If I copy and paste directly it leaves me with 45.8654 (0.05 - 0.00012397 TextCell[""])+0.260788 TextCell[""]. I can't figure out why it would be adding spaces into numerical results and I searched the code for spaces and incorrect variables and found none. I will admit that the code is a bit of a mess, but I've had codes that were more of a mess and didn't have this problem ever. Has anyone run into this type of thing before or by chance know to fix it?

Thanks! How did you go about removing them? Scanning through the fixed version it appears to be the same as the broken version I initially had with the exception of some formatting changes.

For some reason, in part of your code an invisible embedded Cell[""] expression was placed internally and is now part of those expressions. This may have happened for a variety of reasons... however I am attaching a fixed version of your notebook where I removed them.

It seems to work fine now.... (I removed the unnecessary Quit[] statement at the beginning of the notebook but you can put it back if you wish).

In[45]:= 45.8654 (0.05 - 0.00012397) + 0.260788

Out[45]= 2.54837
