Hi all, Similar to hitting CTRL-SHIFT-N to make a cell into pretty format, is there such a thing to make a defined cell into a pure function. The reason I am asking is that I implemented the Chudnovsky (I hope I have that correct) method for calculating the digits of Pi. Mathematica uses this technique, but when I did timing comparisions, the Mathematica one blew mine away. I think it has something to do with the Mathematica being implemented as a compiled procedure or pure function. Any suggestions? Thanks, Wilson Figueroa flip at aznet.net
