The "==" operator for symbolics creates a new symbolic expression:
sage: hr=(x^2+2*x+1) sage: hl=(x+1)^2 sage: E = hr == hl sage: E x^2 + 2*x + 1 == (x + 1)^2 sage: type(E) <class 'sage.symbolic.expression.Expression'> To check if the two expressions are actually the same, I think you can use the "is" statement: sage: f = x + 1 sage: g = x^2 + x + 1 sage: f is g False sage: f is f True sage g is g True Le jeudi 11 août 2022 à 09:56:06 UTC-4, Ralf Hemmecke a écrit : > Am I doing something wrong?
