Set symbolic preferences
sets the symbolic preference oldVal
= sympref(pref
,value
)pref
to
value
and returns the previous value of the preference
to oldVal
. You can set the preference to its default value
using sympref(pref,'default')
.
Symbolic preferences can affect the computation of the symbolic functions
fourier
, ifourier
, and
heaviside
, and the display format of symbolic
output.
The clear
command does not reset or
affect symbolic preferences. Use sympref
to manipulate
symbolic preferences.
The symbolic preferences you set using sympref
also
determine the output generated by the latex
and mathml
functions.
Setting the 'FloatingPointOutput'
preference affects only
the output display format of symbolic numbers. To change the output display
format of numeric numbers, use the format
function. To compute
symbolic numbers using floating-point precision, use the vpa
or digits
functions.
