NumberTheoryNumberTheoryFunctionsPrivate`CRTlist

(a repost, somehow forum deleted original post)

$Failed

docs say it's internal but not when done. i no longer have a .m to read definitions of what's in it

?*`CRTlist does show it still exists

but when called it does not evaluate as it had. i have no .m to know why

a notebook of mine uses this to show "crtwo" (among other improvements) solves chinese remainder showing ALL repeated solutions but the old ChineseRemainder ("by stan wagon et al") could not do it

while crtwo itself is un-effected, the notebook describing "crtwo" is now needs repair.

it is not a simple notebook. such repairs are not 1-2-3. i really wish they hadn't done that. i'll be finding tons of needless (wonton) hackery makng my notebooks fail for days - and have time to fix a precious few - which has been delayed by talking about it.

(I think) I understand, in version 4 you probably had the old Graphics`Shapes` package loaded (reference) which defined the symbol Graphics`Shapes`Sphere. This was made obsolete by the introduction of System`Sphere in version 6, so one could simply do things like

Graphics3D[Sphere[]]

without loading any packages and without using Show. The new Sphere is an actual graphics primitive and not a crude approximation. If you really need what the old implementation did, just look at the legacy package source code. The code works fine in version 11, I just renamed Sphere to sphere:

Practically all of the legacy standard add-on packages have been superseded by new, better and easier to use built-in functionality. The old source code has also been made available on MathSource almost 10 years ago.

sorry working on new system here....

ALSO. WireFrame no longer works (not in the same manner anyhow, or not with Sphere). here is the WireFrame

Sphere[{0,0,0},1] // Graphics3D // WireFrame // Show

This should succeed because it's already loaded. The definition of Needs was and is that loads if not already loaded and returns false when a Needed package is not available. As the following shows (show in version 11, this needed variable is in same context is already loaded):

?*`CRTlist

NumberTheoryNumberTheoryFunctionsPrivate`CRTlist

<a href="mailto:Timing@Short@crtlist[Range[500]">Timing@Short@crtlist[Range[500], Prime[Range[500]], 1, 500]

(try %[[2,1]] to see if it evaluated or returned unevaluated, return is <<1>>)

(* the above shows what documentation says: it's been made internal *)

let's set Needs aside. my .nb assigned "crtlist=...`CRTlist", and calls the function with parameters.

though MM 11 has the same CRTlist in the same place, it returns unevaluated

it's not critical to the notebook except in EDUCATION of why "crtwo" gives really all repeated cr sol'n and ChineseRemainder (ver 4.0 mm?) could not

Could you give an example showing in what way Sphere is broken?

It was introduced as a system symbol in version 6.0.0, almost 10 years ago. Are you saying you have an older notebook where you defined your own function with the same name? Obviously it will need some adjustment to address the naming conflict.
