Hi Alex,
I understand that you want to print the expression exactly as it's typed in the Live Editor without it being automatically simplified. To achieve this, you can use the following workaround:
1. Define the expression as a string from the beginning, enclosing it in single quotes.
2. Use the `disp` function to display the expression in the Live Editor exactly as it is typed.
3. If you need to evaluate this expression later, you can convert it back to a symbolic expression using the `str2sym()` function.
Here's the code snippet for reference:
% Declare symbolic variables 'a' and 'n'
syms a n
% Define the expression as a string, enclosed in single quotes
expr = '(a+1)^(-n)';
% Display the expression exactly as it is typed
disp(expr);
% Convert the string back to a symbolic expression using str2sym for
% further calculations
ans = str2sym(expr);
This approach ensures that the expression appears exactly as you have typed it in the Live Editor, preserving its form.
Please refer to the following documentations for more information:
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
