translate Maple code to C code
Calling Sequence
Parameters
Description
Examples
C(x, cgopts)
x
-
expression, list, rtable, procedure or module
cgopts
(optional) one or more CodeGeneration options
The C command translates Maple code to ANSI C code.
- If the parameter x is an algebraic expression, then a C statement assigning the expression to a variable is generated.
- If x is a list, rtable or Maple Array of algebraic values, then a sequence of C statements assigning the elements to a C array is produced. Only the initialized elements of the rtable or Maple Array are translated.
- If x is a list of equations nm=expr where nm is a name and expr is an algebraic expression, this is understood to mean a sequence of assignment statements. In this case, the equivalent sequence of C assignment statements is generated.
- If x is a procedure, then a C function is generated, along with any necessary directives for library inclusion.
- If x is a module, then the module members are translated as described on the CDetails help page.
The parameter cgopts may include one or more CodeGeneration options, as described in CodeGenerationOptions.

For a description of the options used in the following examples, see CodeGenerationOptions.
with⁡CodeGeneration:
Translate a simple expression and assign to the name ``w'' in the target code.
C⁡x+y⁢z−2⁢x⁢z,resultname=w
w = -2 * x * z + y * z + x;
Translate a list and assign to an array with name ``w'' in the target code.
C⁡x,2⁢y,5,z,resultname=w
w[0][0] = x; w[0][1] = 2 * y; w[1][0] = 5; w[1][1] = z;
Translate a computation sequence. Optimize the input first.
cs≔s=1.0+x,t=ln⁡s⁢exp⁡−x,r=exp⁡−x+x⁢t:
C⁡cs,optimize
s = 0.10e1 + x; t1 = log(s); t2 = exp(-x); t = t2 * t1; r = x * t + t2;
Declare that x is a float and y is an integer. Return the result in a string.
s≔C⁡x+y+1,declare=x::float,y::integer,output=string
s≔cg = x + (double) y + 0.1e1;
Translate a procedure. Assume that all untyped variables have type integer.
f := proc(x, y, z) return x*y-y*z+x*z; end proc:
C⁡f,defaulttype=integer
int f (int x, int y, int z) { return(y * x - y * z + x * z); }
Translate a procedure containing an implicit return. A new variable is created to hold the return value.
f := proc(n) local x, i; x := 0.0; for i to n do x := x + i; end do; end proc:
C⁡f
double f (int n) { double x; int i; double cgret; x = 0.0e0; for (i = 1; i <= n; i++) { x = x + (double) i; cgret = x; } return(cgret); }
Translate a procedure accepting an Array as a parameter. Note that the indices are renumbered so that the C array starts at index 0.
f := proc(x::Array(numeric, 5..7)) return x[5]+x[6]+x[7]; end proc:
double f (double x[3]) { return(x[0] + x[1] + x[2]); }
Translate a module with one exported and one local procedure.
m := module() export p; local q; p := proc(x,y) if y>0 then trunc(x); else ceil(x); end if; end proc: q := proc(x) sin(x)^2; end proc: end module:
C⁡m,resultname=t0
#include <math.h> double q; double p (double x, int y); double q (double x) { return(pow(sin(x), 0.2e1)); } double p (double x, int y) { if (0 < y) return((double) (int)(x)); else return(ceil(x)); }
Translate an expression involving the max function.
C⁡max⁡1abs⁡x,x2
cg0 = (x * x >= 1 / abs(x) ? x * x : 1 / abs(x));
