An Old Adage in MATLAB
I have to admit, I enjoy puns and plays on words of almost any kind. As I was driving to work this morning, I was thinking about the MATLAB function eval. And something just clicked for me. I am sure the person sitting in the car beside me at the light thought I was crazy.
zip($)=√all(eval)
Of course, later I looked on the internet, and, of course, found variants dozens of times over. Oh well.
To understand the equation I wrote, it may help to know some tennis terminology.
It may also help to know some synonyms for 0 :-).
Of course, we, at MathWorks, might say something a bit different. See this article, and this one, for examples. They discuss why not too "poof" variables into the workspace.
eval=n√bad surprises
