Re: [Maxima-discuss] amending member

[Pankaj S. <pan...@gm...>]

Barton and Gunter,
member1(l,lis):=block([li:lis,p:false],load(basic),if member(l,li) then
p:true else (while(not li=[]) do (li:apply(append,li),
                        if(member(l,li)) then
p:true,li:sublist(li,listp))),p)$

I think I had parameters names switched,
IN :: member1("+",[[1,2]]); /*It expects everything in a list, so just
[1,2] won't work */
IN :: member1([1,2],1);
/* member: "2nd "argument must be a non-atomic expression; found
....
Thanks for pointing out mistake,
and
I agree loading should be outside, but I was experimenting if its possible
to do it from inside the function in case user is not aware. But sincere
thanks for advice indeed.

Regards,
Pankaj Sejwal
