python - sympy.sympify() does not perform substitutions -


this works expected:

>>> sympy import * >>> (x, y, z) = symbols("x y z") >>> y = x >>> z = y >>> z x

however sympify() not perform substitution:

>>> sympy import * >>> y = sympify('x') >>> z = sympify('y') >>> z y

z should set x.

are there flags can pass sympify() substitute? i'm using sympy version 0.7.1.rc1 , python 2.7.3

you're misunderstanding difference between sympy symbols , python names.

>>> y = sympify('x')

here you've created symbol x referred name y.

>>> z = sympify('y')

now create symbol y referred name z. note symbol y , local name y have nothing each other. sympy not care have variable named y when sympify('y') -- it's not inspecting local namespace.

what want is:

>>> z = sympify(y)

i.e. assigning z symbol pointed by y; gets expect:

>>> z x

also note sympify call entirely redundant in case, should doing:

>>> z = y

c++ - Why doesn't unordered_set provide an array access operator -

i'm curious why stl container unordered_set , has constant time complexity random access on average, not provide method accessing elements distance first element in container. example: t& unordered_set::operator[](size_t index) { return *(begin() + index); } accessing element "by distance" implies there meaningful way measure distance. trouble std::unordered_set is is, well, unordered . hence, there no meaningful way of explaining "some distance beginning" in non-arbitrary way. if want access distance, copy data vector: std::vector tmp(unordered.begin(), unordered.end());
