Drago,
According to the Book you can use both. However I do not know, because
I do not know how to define domains like:
{Complexes },
{Reals },
{Algebraics },
{Rationals },
{Integers },
{Primes },
{Booleans }
Well, I was wrong in my previous e-mail, because Booleans is a finite
domain. So again, I am interested to know how can I define a user
domain - in my case a finite one - and use all the domain related
functions of Mathematica on it and able to use it with patterns.
In[1]:=
Information["Booleans",
LongForm -> False]
"Booleans represents the \
domain of booleans, as in x \
\[Element] Booleans."*Button[
More\[Ellipsis], ButtonData :>
"Booleans", Active ->
True, ButtonStyle ->
"RefGuideLink"]
does not give much insight. With Longform->True I get just one step
further:
Attributes[Booleans] =
{Protected}
So, the question is: "user-defined domains" or "custom domains"...
Help...
János

Trying to argue with a politician is like lifting up the head of a
corpse.
