Maple objects
These functions are part of the OpenMaple interface to Microsoft Visual Basic.
MapleALGEB_Printf is the same as the Maple printf function. The extra arguments must all be Maple objects (of type ALGEB). Note: In the format specification, %a, formats an object of any Maple type, whereas, for example, %d formats only Maple integers. Printf output is directed to the text callback.
MapleALGEB_SPrintf is the same as the Maple sprintf function. It returns a String containing the formatted output.
When an argument to MapleALGEB_Printf or MapleALGEB_SPrintf is an expression sequence, it is formatted as a list.
Sub MyTestPrintf(ByVal kv As Long)
Dim a, b As Long
a = ToMapleInteger(kv, 14)
b = ToMapleString(kv, "this is a string")
MapleALGEB_Printf0 kv, "I'm going to print a and b."
MapleALGEB_Printf2 kv, "here they are a=%d, b=%a.", a, b
Write #1, MapleALGEB_SPrintf2(kv, "a=%a, b=%s", a, b)
End Sub
