SYMBOLIC _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ command

The symbolic command changes REDUCE's mode of operation to symbolic. When symbolic is followed by an expression, that expression is evaluated in symbolic mode, but REDUCE's mode is not changed. It is equivalent to the lisp command.

examples:

symbolic; 

  NIL 


cdr '(a b c); 

  (B C) 


algebraic; 

x + symbolic car '(y z); 

  X + Y
