The result of calling makeproc(expr, x) is a procedure which when evaluated at x returns expr.

It is useful when evaluating an expression at several values of x.

If expr is an unevaluated function call such as , then the name of the function is returned.

The result of calling makeproc([x1,y1], [x2,y2]) is a procedure with the result being the line created from two given points [x1,y1] and [x2,y2].

The result of calling makeproc([x,y], 'slope'=m) or makeproc('slope'=m, [x,y]) is a procedure with the result being the line created from the point [x, y] and the slope m.

The command with(student,makeproc) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.

makeproc(sin(x), x);

f := makeproc(p, x);

makeproc([2,3],[4,5]);

makeproc([a,b],'slope'=m);
