Utter noob question but Im trying to build up a function and see it in with nice formatting in live script how do I keep it from evaluating?
Say below I want to make sure that I have typed it in correctly not auto evaluate it . Also is there anyway to use e as asymbol and not have it automatically evaluate it into its fractional form? Sorry for how basic this is Im sadly only on hour number 3 of this langauge .
4*pi^2 * (2*pi*100)^2 *1/5

Hi, Chad
In the sentence "Also is there anyway to use e as asymbol", here 'e' is an exponential constant?

Hi, Chad
I understand you want to visualize the expression without it getting evaluated.
This can be achieved using symbolic variables, but still, constants will be evaluated to a simplified expression.
Create ‘pi’ as a symbolic variable as demonstrated below:
Use 'e' as a symbolic variable to represent ‘e’ as an exponent constant without it getting evaluated.
Here is a demonstration to create symbolic variables:

Ran in:
There was a long period during which
syms pi
would make pi into a symbolic variable that referred to the transcendental constant π. However, that is no longer the case; now syms pi makes pi into an ordinary variable that does not refer to the constant (the situation is a little stranger than that internally.)
These days, to get LiveScript to display π for values that refer to the transcendental constant, use
pi = sym(pi);
or do like I did, of using Pi for that purpose instead, so that the numeric pi remains accessible.
See the difference:
syms pi
vpa(pi)
ans = 
π
clear pi
pi = sym(pi)
pi = 
π
vpa(pi)
ans =

Ran in:
You can use displayFormula on the character (or string()) version of the formula, and later convert that to symbolic
as_char = '4*pi^2 * (2*pi*100)^2 *1/5'
as_char = '4*pi^2 * (2*pi*100)^2 *1/5'
displayFormula(as_char)
as_sym = str2sym(as_char)
as_sym =
