You gave ToString three parameters (2, 3 and "Schmitt"), but ToString
has only TWO parameters. You intended to give ToString only ONE
parameter. One way to fix the problem is this:
new[par___] := (Print["The Parameters: ", par];
Print["The Parameters: ", ToString[par]];);
new[{2, 3, "Schmitt"}];
or, better perhaps,
new[par___] := (Print["The Parameters: ", par];
Print["The Parameters: ", StringJoin@Drop[Rest@
Characters@ToString@{par}, -1]];);
new[2, 3, "Schmitt"];

Hello,
I have the following program:
new[par___] := (
Print["The Parameters: ", par];
Print["The Parameters: ", ToString[par]];
);
new[2, 3, "Schmitt"];
and get the following result:
The Parameters: 23Schmitt
ToString
ToString::nonopt:
Options expected (instead of Schmitt) beyond position 2 in
ToString[2, 3, Schmitt]. An option must be a rule or a list of
rules.The
Parameters: ToString[2, 3, Schmitt]
In[14]:=
According to the Mathematica book no further parameters are necessary
for
ToString[]. Why does the system not like "Schmitt" as parameter?
My final aim is to construct a function call with variable function name
and
the parameters "par"
