@TùxCräftîñg That prints a leading >>.

Echo[13!] works

| Mar 8, 2016 at 14:03 | comment | added | Michael Stern | @LegionMammal978 I love that name, I was assuming "MMA" but yours is better. Don't try to bite off the whole spec in one go -- maybe Mthmtca 0.1 can have shortened command names plus automatic universal right parenthesis (both relatively easy to implement), and leave everything else for version 0.2. | |
| Mar 8, 2016 at 5:10 | comment | added | Michael Stern | We should create a golfing version of Mathematica. With one- or two-byte abbreviated commands and the massive Wolfram Language command set, it would do well in many of these contests. | |

| Dec 28, 2015 at 23:59 | comment | added | Martin Ender | @MarchHo what LegionMammal said. You are still invoking the code from a notebook. Mathematica code can be run as an actual script without a notebook environment just like any other programming language. | |

@MarchHo, try running MathematicaScript -script C:\test.txt.

@MartinBüttner I just tested in Mathematica 10, Get["C:\\test.txt"] containing the string 15! prints the expected output. Did I misinterpret what you said?

@MarchHo if you run 14! from a script file, it will not print anything. It only prints something when typed into a notebook, which is a REPL environment.

| Dec 28, 2015 at 23:10 | comment | added | March Ho | @MartinBüttner I don't get your point. It manifestly does not "take 6 characters to print anything" for this question in Mathematica. I don't see where REPL environments come into play here. | |
| Dec 28, 2015 at 23:01 | comment | added | Martin Ender | @MarchHo the fact that you got away with it in the past does not mean it's generally legitimate to assume a REPL environment. ;) | |

Why do you want to use Print though? Raw operations are valid programs in Mathematica (answer)
