Hello,
I had a couple of questions about funny sage behaviors and ran into a few more
this morning. I'm going to post them one-by-one.
This first one is about the maxima interface. It seems to me that I should be
able to "type-cast" a maxima object to CC just as well as to ZZ, but I cannot
in the code below. I realize that I can call "real" and "imag" on the maxima
object so I can do what I wanted, just not in the most obvious fashion.
sage: # this works
sage: ZZ(maxima('1'))
sage: CC(maxima('1'))
sage: # this doesn't
sage: CC(maxima('1+%i'))
sage: # Why the difference?
I attempted to follow the code-path through for the integer case to understand
the working analogue, but I was confused and don't understand how the integer
works. If I'm pointed in a right direction to start, I'm sure I can work out
a patch to fix the bug.
