hi! i dontunderstand the way this code runs :
ddom(x,y)=max(abs(x-0.5),abs(y-0.5))-0.5
catox(x,y)=abs(x-0.5)
catoy(x,y)=abs(y-0.5)
show(catox(10,20),";",catoy(10,20))
show(max(catox(10,20),catoy(10,20))-0.5)#19
show(max(catoy(10,20),catox(10,20))-0.5)#19
show("ddom=",ddom(10,20))#9???? <--- here
show("ddom=",ddom(20,10))#19
why 9 ???????????
Hint:
sage: ddom(x,y)
abs(x - 0.500000000000000) - 0.500000000000000
This shows that SageMath (or rather, Python) didn't catch your intended meaning when you wrote max. If you want to work with symbolic expressions involving the maximum, then you should use the symbolic maximum:
sage: ddom(x,y)=max_symbolic(abs(x-0.5),abs(y-0.5))-0.5
sage: ddom(x,y)
max(abs(x - 0.500000000000000), abs(y - 0.500000000000000)) - 0.500000000000000
sage: ddom(10,20)
19.0000000000000
If you don't need symbolic expressions, then you can also define a Python function instead:
sage: ddom2 = lambda x,y: max(abs(x-0.5),abs(y-0.5))-0.5
sage: ddom2(10,20)
19.0000000000000
ok thanks very much
now, i have understood how to ; fine, works very well
concerning the why, i have not everything but the following point is now clearer for me thnaks to your answer :
ddom(x,y)=...
defines a SageMaths functions whereas
ddom(x,y)= lambda something
def ddom(x,y): something
define both a Python function
what i have not understood yet is the logical way SageMaths has taken to produce this "9"
