A naive question from someone who did asembly language 45 years ago.
Not conceptually, but from a "how to...", how does one incorporate Wolfram Alpha using Wolfram language? Thanks, Neil
Thanks for the good advice..
In addition to the good answers above you should take a look at Entity based computation, for example:
EntityValue[Entity["Bridge", "GoldenGate"], "LongestSpan"] (*Quantity[1280, "Meters"]*)
See Knowledge Representation & Access. That's the latest architecture that brings W|A knowledge into WL. WL is a knowledge-based language. You should take a look also at:
Stephen Wolfram's Introduction to the Wolfram Language
Also, you can type == before your query, and then your query will be parsed by Wolfram Alpha.
Yes David and thank you. I'll try some examples later today. Thanks again. Neil
Is this the sort of information that you are curious about: how to call WolframAlpha programatically from the Wolfram Language?
