  • Symbolic expressions are inert; they evaluate to themselves, staying in an unevaluated form.
  • Symbolic expressions can be converted into a C string with ToCCodeString.

Examples

Basic Examples  (1)Summary of the most common use cases

First, load the OpenCLLink application:

In[1]:=1
✖
https://wolfram.com/xid/0tft3u8x50aiw4ykp6dzr22q-9h8a50

This creates an OpenCL function definition:

In[2]:=2
✖
https://wolfram.com/xid/0tft3u8x50aiw4ykp6dzr22q-pc750b
Out[2]=2

A function declaration or prototype is created by leaving out the body:

In[3]:=3
✖
https://wolfram.com/xid/0tft3u8x50aiw4ykp6dzr22q-k9fuim
Out[3]=3

The function body can contain SymbolicC expressions:
