<h4>11.1 <span class="Heading">Operations from AutoDoc</span></h4>

<p>The file functions <code class="code">FindMatchingFiles</code> and <code class="code">CreateDirIfMissing</code> were copied from package <strong class="pkg">AutoDoc</strong> where they are named <code class="code">AutoDoc_FindMatchingFiles</code> and <code class="code">AutoDoc_CreateDirIfMissing</code>.</p>

<p>The string function <code class="code">StringDotSuffix</code> was also copied from package <strong class="pkg">AutoDoc</strong>, where it is named <code class="code">AUTODOC_GetSuffix</code>.</p>

<p>The function <code class="code">SetIfMissing</code> was also transferred from package <strong class="pkg">AutoDoc</strong>, where it is called <code class="code">AUTODOC_SetIfMissing</code>. It writes into a record provided the position is not yet bound.</p>

<p>As from version 0.61, all these functions became obsolete in <strong class="pkg">Utils</strong>, but continue to be defined in <strong class="pkg">AutoDoc</strong>.</p>

<h4>11.2 <span class="Heading">Functions for printing</span></h4>

<p>The function <code class="code">PrintOneItemPerLine</code> was used to prints lists vertically, rather than horizontally. Since a very similar result may be achieved using the <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> library functions <code class="code">Perform</code> and <code class="code">Display</code>, this function became obsolete in version 0.61.</p>

<h5>11.3-1 <span class="Heading">Applicable Methods</span></h5>

<p>The function <code class="code">PrintApplicableMethod</code>, which was included in versions from 0.41 to 0.58, has been removed since it was considered superfluous. The example shows how to print out a function.</p>


<div class="example"><pre>

<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">ApplicableMethod( IsCyclic, [ Group((1,2,3),(4,5)) ], 1, 1 );</span>

<h5>11.3-2 <span class="Heading">ExponentOfPrime</span></h5>

<p>The function <code class="code">ExponentOfPrime</code> was originally transferred from package <strong class="pkg">RCWA</strong>. The command <code class="code">ExponentOfPrime(<var class="Arg">n</var>,<var class="Arg">p</var>)</code> returned the exponent of the prime <var class="Arg">p</var> in the prime factorization of <var class="Arg">n</var>.</p>

<p>Since the <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> function <code class="code">PValuation</code> produces the same results, and does so more quickly, this function has been made obsolete.</p>
