The <em>structr</em> operator breaks its argument expression into named 
subexpressions. 
<P>
<P>
 <P> <H3> 
syntax: </H3>
<em>structr</em>(&lt;expression&gt; [,&lt;identifier&gt;[,&lt;identifier&gt; ...
]]) 
<P>
<P>
<P>
&lt;expression&gt; may be any valid REDUCE scalar expression. 
&lt;identifier&gt; may be any valid REDUCE <em>identifier</em>. The first 
identifier 
is the stem for subexpression names, the second is the name to be assigned 
to the structured expression.

structr(sqrt(x**2 + 2*x) + sin(x**2*z));

                       2
          ANS2 := SIN(X *Z)
                             1/2

</TT></PRE><P>The second argument to <em>structr</em> is optional. If it is not 
given, the 
default stem <em>ANS</em> is used by REDUCE to construct names for the 
subexpression. The names are only for display purposes: REDUCE does not 
store the names and their values unless the switch 
<A HREF=r37_0331.html>savestructr</A> is 
on. 
<P>
<P>
If a third argument is given, the structured expression as a whole is named by 
this argument, when 
<A HREF=r37_0289.html>fort</A> is on. The expression is not stored 
under this 
name. You can send these structured Fortran expressions to a file with the 
<em>out</em> command.
