[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #45423] symbolic package fails to construct matrices

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #45423 (project octave):

I believe the problem is related to how octave and sympy communicate.
According to sympy's documentation
http://docs.sympy.org/latest/tutorial/matrices.html, sympy will not recognize
octave's matrix notation. It requires rows to have their own brackets.

If this workaround is used from the very beginning it works just fine:

octave:2> syms a
octave:3> A = [[1, 2]; [a, 4]]
A = (sym 2×2 matrix)

  ⎡1  2⎤
  ⎢    ⎥
  ⎣a  4⎦



So for now, as long as matrices are typed in following sympy's notation right
from the start, it works.
