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
Is this the sort of information that you are curious about: how to call WolframAlpha programatically from the Wolfram Language?
http://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/WolframAlpha.html
Also, you can type == before your query, and then your query will be parsed by Wolfram Alpha.
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
Yes David and thank you. I'll try some examples later today. Thanks again. Neil
Thanks for the good advice..
