I am studying Mathematica myself and doing some exercises for improvement.
Question: Try to guess the internal forms of
b/c
andc/b
. Verify your answer usingFullForm
.
Here is what I got by using FullForm
:
FullForm[b/c]
Times[b,Power[c,-1]]
FullForm[c/b]
Times[Power[b,-1],c]
As you can see from the full form of b/c
and c/b
, the order of two terms in function Times
is different. I am wondering why does this happen? What is the purpose of this? For the full form of c/b
, why not Times[c,Power[b,-1]]
? Just curious, however this doesn't seem to be important.
