Maybe it is a *convention* that "_" is the previous result.
"_" is a legitimate variable name in Python, so it is sometimes used for results you don't really intend to keep.
The following produces 8 in the Sage Cell: _ = 1 + 2 _ + 5 Rob On 04/11/2017 03:44 PM, Andrey Novoseltsev wrote:

But if I try to use it in SageCell like in 1+2 _+5 I get an error. What is the correct way to refer to previous results? I never used or saw _ used in SageMathCell. There is a question of what "previous computation" is. Since I am used to SageNB, for me previous computation is the result of the previous cell, which does not make much sense when there is only one cell ;-) I don't think that SageMathCell has any special treatment for _ on its own, so if it does or does not work, it is due to Sage/IPython/Jupyter/etc handing actual code and output. So - if things worked before and got broken I'll try to fix them, but if they never worked I claim that it is by design and should not be impemented. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-cell" group.
