I can't type what i want. I try and type.function.png



And it wants to put the paranthesis in the wrong spot, or something else goes wrong. I got the first line correct once, with an extra tick for input, but as soon as I went to the second line, SMath took out what I typed in the first line.

I am reading the manual. I am going through page by page. In the below, I understood everything before this point, but I cannot type what the example says:example.png

what comes out, no matter what I type is solve(x-1):=. I can't figure our how to put anything else in the parentheses.

Open a new document to clear previous possible "shadow in context".
solve(2), solve(4) from f(x) menu ... click.

Hi. Isn't "solve(...):=". It is "solve(...)=". Also, if you can't type "solve(x-1,x)=" try "solve(x-1;x)=" Maybe your list separator is ";" instead ",".

Best regards.
Alvaro.

Sorry. You didn't understand what I said. If I type anything in that format, SMath automatically puts in the ":" I type "solve(...)=" with the keys, but SMath forces it to come out as "solve(...):="

Maybe it's time to read more the Smath user guide book,
as well as get a keyboard that works to reproduce the examples.
solve(2) from the f(x) menu ... just click and fill-in.

Not sure you read everything. I will try and explain better. I am on page 38 of the "introduction to SMath manual" and am going through it page by page. I got to page 38 and tried to type the "solve" function and the above is the problem I am having. I was trying to type and learn from the example. I understood everything before that point, and everything else is working. What I am trying to type is right from the SMath manual. I attached the file in a post above from 4 days ago. It says "Examples using both symbolic and numeric results are shown below." You say use the solve(2) function. The example does not mention that function. Do I need that function for this example?

Do you have the f(x) in the top menu bar ?
Click f(x) ... scroll down to see solve(2)
If so go by the example ... at least try.

For sure you need that function !
Go again this example.

I think what Britt1 is trying to ask is about the argument in the solve(2) and solve(4) function. The equal sign "=" inside the argument is a boolean. So, you'll need to use "Ctrl+=" to solve this problem.

I was having some issues in other equations with the same problem, but now it's kind of working. Depends on the equation and mainly the syntax.
