Hi, this is my assignment in numerical mathematics, this runs in Octave but unfortunately not in SageMath, can someone see what the problem is?

See the SageMathCloud worksheet https://cloud.sagemath.com/projects/6...

Here is the code

# a)

function y=f(x)  
    y=3/(2+x)
endfunction

function a=p(x)  
    y1=x^2
    y2=x
    y3=1
    a=[y1,y2,y3]
endfunction

# b)

# Stützstellen vector x

x=[-1 0 1]
f(x(1))
f(x(2))
f(x(3))

# Anzahl der Stützstellen bestimmer

d=length(x)
A=zeros(d,d)

for i=1:3
    A(i,:)=p(x(i))
endfor

b=zeros(3,1)

for i=1:3
    b(i)=f(x(i))
endfor

b
[L,U,P] = lu(A)
invL=inv(L)
y=invL*P*b
invU=inv(U)
z=invU*y
A*z
b

The syntax of Octave and Sage languages are different. You should not expect that a file working for one of them would work with the other. Or perhaps I misunderstood your question...

Hi, from what I have understood, this IS the big point about sagecloud. If stated in the beginnig, that this is octave worksheet, every thing should work. Heres is an example: https://cloud.sagemath.com/projects/6... This is in octave but unfortunatelly there are no functions included

your "default mode" setup needs to be in a separate cell. that's a bit of a bug, but on the other hand kind of self-referential and therefore doesn't work.

despite that, it somehow fails to evaluate which is probably an issue with how octave is embedded. I suggest you to open up a terminal and run octave directly. there it works fine.

  1. This is a bug in Sage itself, and can be reported as such. Just put the above code in a python string at the terminal and do octave.eval(s) and it hangs forever. I hope somebody reports it to http://trac.sagemath.org/

  2. A workaround in SageMathCloud is to (a) put your code in a file, e.g., mycode.m, then (b) load that file in a worksheet by typing sh('octave mycode.m'). Here's a working example:

Since you're editing a big script anyways, you'll get nice syntax highlighting, etc. using .m file, so this shouldn't be too bad.

Thank you. The "downside" to run it via command,is that i cannot use the results with sagemath cloud right? The error was posted again. I was thinking to turn my home work this way. The idea was send the m file and include a link to sagemathcloud with comment, "hit run" :) if he sees the results, every thing should be fine. They using octave and matlab here in Germany a lot. I think this is solved the error is reported.
