How would I return a variable name in a function. E.g. If I have the function:

def mul(a,b):
   return a*b

a = mul(1,2); a
b = mul(1,3); b
c = mul(1,4); c

This would return:

2
3
4

I would like it to return:

a = 2
b = 3
c = 4

How would I do this?

I am using sage and would like to implement a function that prints a variable in latex, so I can copy and paste it directly into my latex file. However I am unsure how to do this. This is what I have attempted:

def printlatex(a):
    return '$', latex(a), '$'
a = 1*2
printlatex(a)

This returns the tuple ('$', 2, '$'), which I don't want.

How would I implement the function so it returns $2$

@dan_fulea Yes I would like a function that prints the following in latex:

e = mul(a,b)
f = mul(c,d)
g = mul(e,f)

If a variable was used twice e.g.

e = mul(a,b)
f = mul(c,d)
g = mul(e,f)
f = mul(b,d)

I would like it to print both variations.

I am struggling on how I can implement my code so it outputs into latex. I have the follwing:

T = PolynomialRing(QQ, 'a,b,c,d'); T
T.inject_variables()

e = mul(a,b)
f = mul(c,d)
g = mul(e,f)

Now I would like to implement a function so when it is called it will print the operations below in latex:

 e = mul(a,b)
 f = mul(c,d)
 g = mul(e,f)

Does anyone know how I can do this?

Just testing something please ignore this
