represents an inert expression that is not automatically evaluated.

Details

  • "InertExpression" objects are inert and will only evaluate on calls to InertEvaluate.

Constructors

  • InertExpression[expr] constructs an inert expression object from the constant expr.
  • Construct[head,expr1,expr2,…] combines the inert expressions head,expr1,expr2,… to construct head[expr1,expr2,…] as an inert expression. »
