5. Platform-dependent packages

Certain facilities have been developed for use on Unix-like platforms, which is currently the main development target for Yacas. Other facilities have limited support on the Windows platform as well. These functions are described in this chapter.

Version show version of Yacas


Version -- show version of Yacas

Internal function
Calling format:
Version()

Description:
The function Version() returns a string representing the version of the currently running Yacas interpreter.

Examples:
In> Version()
Out> "1.0.48rev3";
In> LessThan(Version(), "1.0.47")
Out> False;
In> GreaterThan(Version(), "1.0.47")
Out> True;

The last two calls show that the LessThan and GreaterThan functions can be used for comparing version numbers. This method is only guaranteed, however, if the version is always expressed in the form d.d.dd as above.
