WolframLang Names
Calling Function is the Essence of Coding WolframLang
- There are about 7 thousand function builtin. (as of 2024-04-09)
- No need to load/import library to use builtin functions. Just call them directly.
- Coding in WolframLang is essentially just about calling functions, nothing else.
- There is no “statements”, no “object oriented”, no “methods”.
- Everything is an expression.
- You change the expression by calling a function on it and get the return value.
- Even the typical assignment such as
x = 3, is actally calling a function (Set[x,3]). - Any function returns a value. e.g.
Set[x,3]returns 3.
It's essential to be able to find the function you want.
All WolframLang's function names are long and descriptive.
