Hi,
In mathematica, I try to separate characters in a variable by '_' but
that seems to be problematic. For example,
In[1]:= ab_cd=1
Set::patset: Warning: ab_cd in assignment ab_cd = 1
represents a named pattern; use symbol::tag to represent a message name.
In[2]:= ab_cd
ab_cd in In[2] doesn't return 1. It looks like a problem. Can it be
overcome?
Are there other symbols that can separate characters in a variable to let
the characters look 'not packed closely together'? Thank you in advance.
David
