Code generation

As explained in Geometry for Programmers

Code generation is the automatic translation of a representation or formula into source code in a target programming language.

Code generation turns a solved symbolic formula into source code for a chosen programming language. SymPy performs this translation automatically, avoiding repetitive hand conversion and preserving generalized solutions. section 1.6

From symbolic solution to Python

After solving equations for Va and Vp symbolically, calling pycode(solution) produces Python-compatible code. The same solution can be emitted as JavaScript, Julia, FORTRAN, C, Octave, Matlab, or Rust; latex produces printable mathematical notation. section 1.6

Listing 1.2 Symbolic solution in SymPy

from sympy import *
 
Va, Vp, Vpx, D, t = symbols('Va Vp Vpx D t')   #1
 
solution = solve([
    Vp - Va * Vpx,
    Va * t + Vp * t - D
], (Va, Vp))
 
print(solution)

Inspect the SymPy listing that creates a symbolic solution before translating it into code. section 1.6
