On my PC I can't see the plus and minus sign in the quotient expression when using Student:-Basics:-LongDivision.

Is this a know display issue and is there to correct it?

I noticed Maple changes 1/(4*(x-2)) to 1/(4*x-8)  when copying the output and pasting it back to the worksheet.  

But in the variable it does remain 1/(4*(x-2))  which is what I wanted, as I am going to look for this form later on and I do not want it expanded.

But I am curious why Maple does this. It is a little annoying when copying something from one worksheet to another and have it change.  Here is a small movie and the code to see it. 

Is there a way to prevent this automatic expansion?  Maple 2021.2 on windows 10

code

r:=(x^4-8*x^3+24*x^2-24*x+12)/((4*x^2*(x-2)^2)):
rf:=convert(r,fullparfrac,x);

I use worksheet interface and have my display settings as the following

Many times when using the debugger, and hitting the NEXT button I get the message

   Warning, cannot determine statement number; procedure may have changed in-place

The problem is that after this, hitting NEXT will not go to next statement any more. It will bypass and return from the current procedure. but hitting STEP will make it go to next statement, But STEP will also go into next block which I might not want to do.

Only way to fix this is to terminate the debugging session and start all over again.

it is random and comes up in different places. The code in in .mla file and I step through it.

I am sure anyone who have used the buildin debugger have seen this message before. It shows for me many times. 

What causes it and what can one do to not make it show up or clear it up so one does not have to restart the debugging each time it shows up?

Here is a screen shot.  I am also wondering if this happens using the emacs interface to the Maple debugger? I have not used the emacs interface to the debugger before.

I can't understand why this error Error, adding lists of different length show up only when removing a print statement!

Why would a print has anything to do with an error message showing up or not?

some context. I wanted to call map on expression, but wanted to collect the result of operating on each indent in a list as map goes through the expression on term after the other. The expression will be type `+`.

I did not know how to do it inside map. So I create separate proc which map call.

Inside this proc, I use list to append to (this will small list, few terms at most).  To be able to do this, I made the list I want to collect thing into a global variable outside the proc.  Everything was working OK, until I remove a print statement  I had inside the proc for debugging.

I am sure there is a better way to do this all (i.e. collect map output into a list) and I am trying to find better way. But my question is: Why would this error shows up only when I remove a print statement from the last line in the proc?

I also notice when removing the line variable declaration global L now both version work with no error, but get warning Warning, (in f) `L` is implicitly declared local which is why I added declaration global L in first place.

Thanks to everyone for the answers and information I did not know that map does process return value from a proc it calls. Good to know.

I looked at combinat package but it is too large and could not find what I want.

I'll explain with example to make it easy. Given n=2 I want to generate all possible arrangements of sets of length n where each element can be either +1 or -1. So it will be 2^n=4 possible arrangements

And for n=3 then want to generate all possible sets of length 3 where each element can be either +1 or -1 so it will be  2^n=2^3=8 possible sets

And for n=4 it will be 2^n=16 possible arrangements

And so on. I picked [+1,-1] in the above as an example.   

Is there a command to do this in Maple?  I can ofcourse program it using using loops and if's and so on. But thought there might be a command in Maple package which will generate all these possibles sets. Either as list of lists or Matrix or any other format.
