These are questions asked by vv

If I copy the output of a lprint command e.g.
lprint(<1,2;3,4>);

Matrix(2,2,{(1, 1) = 1, (1, 2) = 2, (2, 1) = 3, (2, 2) = 4},datatype = anything
,storage = rectangular,order = Fortran_order,shape = [])

and paste it in a new execution group, I obtain a "Line print output" instead of a Maple (1D) input,
so it cannot be executed.
(Of course, it's possible to paste in Notepad to remove the format, but it's annoying.)

This happens in Maple 2019,  Windows 64, Worksheet mode, 1D input;  but not all the time (sometimes it is as it used to be).
Do you see the same behavior?

 

If f is a procedure e.g.  f := x -> x^2;  then f[a](b)  evaluates to f(b)  (= b^2).
Do you know where is this feature documented?
(I have used this in the past, but I need now a reference and I cannot find it).

 

1/0;
Error, numeric exception: division by zero
lastexception;
            0, "numeric exception: division by zero"
lastexception; # ???
            Typesetting:-Typeset, "invalid input: %1 expects %2 arguments, but received %3", type, 2, 3

 

So, printing lastexception produces a new error!
When typesetting=standard, it's OK.

 

L:=[1,2,0,4]:
s := sum(1/L[i], i=1..nops(L));

Error, (in limit/mrv/limsimpl) too many levels of recursion

So, this error cannot be caught by try

try    # bug
  s := sum(1/L[i], i=1..nops(L));
  catch:  s:=infinity
end try;

Error, (in limit/mrv/limsimpl) too many levels of recursion

Strangely, for L:=[1, 2, 0.0, 4]  it's OK.

Everything works with add instead of sum, but this is another thing.

 

seq(x) in the help page:  When x is a sparse Matrix, Vector or rtable, only the nonzero entries are scanned.
Is the statement correct/complete?

V := Vector(6, [11,22,0,44], storage=sparse):
entries(V);
seq(V);

                        [11], [22], [44]
                      11, 22, 44, 0, 0, 0
