The article shows how to use python and Mathematica to do elementary arithmetic with a few examples.
The examples come from An Elementary Introduction To The Wolfram Language
Calculate 10 to the power 12
python:
print( 10**12 )
print( 10**12 )
wolfram:
10^12
10^12
=> 1000000000000
Compute 2 to the power 2 to the power 2 to the power 2
python:
result = 2
for i in range(3):
result = pow(2, result)
print( result )
wolfram:
2^2^2^2
2^2^2^2
2^2^2^2 = 2^(2^(2^2))
=> 65536
Add the whole numbers from 1 to 10
python:
result = 0
for i in range(10):
result = result + i+1
print( result )
wolfram:
sum = 0
Do [ sum = sum+i
,{i,10}
]
Print[sum]
=> 55
