CodeGeneration

  

Translate

  

translate Maple code to code in a specified language

 

Calling Sequence

Parameters

Description

Examples

Calling Sequence

Translate(x, language = lang, cgopts)

Parameters

x

-

expression, list, rtable, procedure or module

lang

-

string

cgopts

-

(optional) one or more CodeGeneration options

Description

• 

The Translate(x, language = lang, cgopts) calling sequence translates Maple code to code in the language lang. The language lang must correspond to a language recognized by CodeGeneration, that is, a built-in language or a language added with Add. If option language = lang is not supplied, then the language "default" is used.

  

- If the parameter x is an algebraic expression, then a statement in the language lang assigning the expression to a variable is generated.

  

- If x is a list of equations nm=expr where nm is a name and expr is an algebraic expression, this is understood to mean a sequence of assignment statements.  In this case, the equivalent sequence of assignment statements in the language lang is generated.

• 

The parameter cgopts may include one or more CodeGeneration options, as described in CodeGenerationOptions.

• 

The CodeGeneration package is distributed with support for a number of languages.  Though each predefined language has a corresponding CodeGeneration function for performing translations, for example, CodeGeneration[C], you can also use Translate with a predefined language. Note, however, that the two methods may produce different output, as the CodeGeneration functions may make use of specialized options.

• 

For more information about how the CodeGeneration package translates Maple code to predefined languages, see Translation Details.

Examples

Perform a translation to the predefined language Java using the Translate and Java functions respectively.

withCodeGeneration:

Java( proc(x) sin(x)^2-cos(x)^2; end proc);

import java.lang.Math;

class CodeGenerationClass {
  public static double cg (double x)
  {
    return(Math.pow(Math.sin(x), 0.2e1) - Math.pow(Math.cos(x), 0.2e1));
  }
}

Translate( proc(x) sin(x)^2-cos(x)^2; end proc, language = "Java" );

import java.lang.Math;

class CodeGenerationClass {
  public static double cg0 (double x)
  {
    return(Math.pow(Math.sin(x), 0.2e1) - Math.pow(Math.cos(x), 0.2e1));
  }
}

Define a custom language named "MyLanguage" and translate a simple expression and a procedure to this language.

LanguageDefinition[Define]("MyLanguage", extend = "default",
    SetLanguageAttribute(
        "Procedure_Start" = proc(rettype,pname,params)
            (Printer:-Indent(),"func ",pname," ",params," : ",rettype,";\n")
        end proc,
        "Procedure_End" = proc() (Printer:-Indent(),"end func\n") end proc,
        "ParameterSequence_Start" = "(",
        "ParameterSequence_End" = ")",
        "ParameterSequence_Delimiter"  = ",",
        "ParameterSequence_MaxOnLine" = 3,
        "Statement_End" = ";",
        "Block_Start" = "begin\n",
        "Block_End"   = "end\n"
    ),
    AddType(
       'integer' = table(['single' = "integer",   'double' = "long"]),
       'numeric' = table(['single' = "real", 'double' = "real"])
    ),
    AddFunction("sqrt", [numeric]::numeric,
        x->Printer:-Print("surd(",x,",2)")
    ),
    AddOperator(Names:-Assignment = ":="),
    AddPrintHandler(
         Names:-Return = proc(x) Printer:-Print(Printer:-Indent(),"return ",x,";\n") end proc
    )
):

Translate(sqrt(x), language = "MyLanguage");

cg1 := surd(x,2);

Translate(proc(x) x; end proc, language = "MyLanguage");

procedure cg2 (real x) :: real

  return x;
end
end func
