Hello, On the Documentation page ref/Condition under "More information" field we read: "lhs:=Module[{vars},rhs/;test] allows local variables to be shared between test and rhs. You can use the same construction with Block and With. =BB". The hyperlink at the end of the citation directs at the example for Module: In[1]:= f[x_] := Module[{u}, u^2 /; ((u = x - 1) > 0)] In[2]:= f[0] Out[2]= f[0] In[3]:= f[6] Out[3]= 25 This method in this example also works with Block: In[1]:= f[x_] := Block[{u}, u^2 /; ((u = x - 1) > 0)] In[2]:= f[0] Out[2]= f[0] In[3]:= f[6] Out[3]= 25 But it is seemed to be irrelevant to With: In[1]:= f[x_]:=With[{u},u^2/;((u=x-1)>0)] In[2]:= f[0] During evaluation of In[2]:= With::lvws: Variable u$ in local variable specification {u$} requires a value. >> Out[2]= With[{u$},RuleCondition[$ConditionHold[$ConditionHold[u$^2]],(u $=0-1)>0]] Is it misprint or I loose something?
