On the other hand, when the knowledge-based code works, it is spectacular and demonstrates the real power of Wolfram Language: the ability to immediately use real world data without having to find a source, transform it into a form that can be imported correctly, importing the data, and then finding the right way to work with it.įor example, I took one of the code examples to make a 3D plot of the terrain in a five-mile radius around Mount Everest, and had Wolfram Open Cloud produce 3D terrain maps of two mountains closer to home for me: Haleakala on Maui and Mauna Kea on Hawaii Island. Testing the natural language interpreter using the test phrase "= picture of dog" (a variation of the example Wolfram gives of "= picture of a wolf") results in an array listing every dog breed name, instead of displaying the expected generic dog photo or drawing. Resulted in this error message: SocialMediaData::cloudf : SocialMediaData is not currently supported in the Wolfram Cloud. For example, trying to use the external connection to the Facebook API Note, however, it looks like some of the language is either not available when using a free account or may not work the way it is described. The sidebar on the left gives you a quick overview of the categories of topics, ranging from the basics of its 5,000 built-in functions to 3D graphics and how to use its natural language input. If you have a software development background, head over to The Wolfram Language: FAST INTRODUCTION FOR PROGRAMMERS (Opens in a new window). Other, more complex code, such as for generating 3D graphics, may take a few seconds or more before a result is displayed. Simple code such as, literally, "2 + 2" produces results nearly instantly. Pressing Shift-Enter at the end of a code sample runs the code.
Once you login, you can use the prebuilt ThingsToTry notebook to learn how the service works by following the text instructions and sample code in it. Now there's Wolfram Open Cloud, announced and made available earlier this week (Opens in a new window) it makes the language even easier to access and try.Īll you need is a browser and the willingness to create a free Wolfram account. If you've already got an account, you can use it to access the Wolfram Open Cloud. The Wolfram Language was also made available for free to those who bought the $35 Raspberry Pi computer. It extends the work he started with Mathematica and Wolfram Alpha to let people solve problems at an extremely abstracted level that lets them connect knowledge directly with programming. Stephen Wolfram introduced the knowledge-based Wolfram Language earlier this year.
