Not dismissing your methods, but there are easier and cleaner ways. If you define with multiple definitions with different argument types for patterns or with trailing arguments which are not rules you can set messages appropriate for each bad input....
A while back I wrote a Mathematica function for starting completely fresh on a filled and previously saved notebook. A word of caution: it clears notebook history and system cache among several other things. I'll give you all definitions. Most of it...
Clock in Mathematica is buggy (submitted bug report) and is very limited in what actions it can do. If its set as a recurring countdown clock sometimes it performs my action (i.e. NotebookSave[] & Ding[] to alert me) and at other times nothing even...
Abstract -------- My task sounds simple and straight forward but not all is as it first appears. I just need a Button that waits to be Clicked before displaying a countdown timer in the label. Button will eventually do a lot more which I...
Wolfram should compensate you for doing their work for them. This is something Wolfram should have done a long time ago with Mathematica.
Oh hush. o_~ I think what Mr. Cherkasskii is suggesting is that notebook toolbars and menus should be upgraded with the latest functional features not an updated rigid interface style that you cannot get out of. If you have ever used Microsoft...
Why name the function Upset? Is it a cute metaphor for the pain of programming OOP in general as well as describing how parameters are set up for inheritance? If so it worked. I got a good chuckle.
I was given the following problem: *Consider the equation x = exp(-x2). Plot the two curves on the same plot to get a rough idea of the intersection point. Then use a built - in function (e.g. FindRoot or FixedPoint or Solve) to find the solution...
