new to mathematica, looked at the help, but did not get the help i needed..
I want to write a function that does multiple calculations in its body, then
it returns a value.
I am talking about functions similar to functions that you can declare in
C++.
can anyone give me an example?
in C++, a function would be like, (note int means integer)
int zzz(int s, int y)
{
int Q;
Q = s*y;
return Q;
}
well thats just a simple example, the body of my function is going to be
complicated...
I know in mathematica, I can solve the same zzz by
zzz[s_,y_] := s*y;
However, what if i want the body more complicated and do more than one
thing??
