    Base class for all SymPy objects.

    Notes and conventions
    =====================

    1) Always use ``.args``, when accessing parameters of some instance:

    >>> from sympy import cot
    >>> from sympy.abc import x, y

    >>> cot(x).args
    (x,)

    >>> cot(x).args[0]
    x

    >>> (x*y).args
    (x, y)

    >>> (x*y).args[1]
    y


    2) Never use internal methods or variables (the ones prefixed with ``_``):

    >>> cot(x)._args    # do not use this, use cot(x).args instead
    (x,)


    3)  By "SymPy object" we mean something that can be returned by
        ``sympify``.  But not all objects one encounters using SymPy are
        subclasses of Basic.  For example, mutable objects are not:

        >>> from sympy import Basic, Matrix, sympify
        >>> A = Matrix([[1, 2], [3, 4]]).as_mutable()
        >>> isinstance(A, Basic)
        False

        >>> B = sympify(A)
        >>> isinstance(B, Basic)
        True

        atoms of any type, however, as demonstrated below.

        Examples
        ========

        >>> from sympy import I, pi, sin
        >>> from sympy.abc import x, y
        >>> (1 + x + 2*sin(y + I*pi)).atoms()

        >>> (1 + x + 2*sin(y + I*pi)).atoms(Number, NumberSymbol, I)
        {1, 2, I, pi}

        Note that I (imaginary unit) and zoo (complex infinity) are special
        types of number symbols and are not part of the NumberSymbol class.

        The type can be given implicitly, too:

        >>> (1 + x + 2*sin(y + I*pi)).atoms(x) # x is a Symbol
        {x, y}

        Be careful to check your assumptions when using the implicit option
        since ``S(1).is_Integer = True`` but ``type(S(1))`` is ``One``, a special type
        of SymPy atom, while ``type(S(2))`` is type ``Integer`` and will find all
        integers in an expression:

        >>> from sympy import S
        >>> (1 + x + 2*sin(y + I*pi)).atoms(S(1))
        {1}

        >>> (1 + x + 2*sin(y + I*pi)).atoms(S(2))
        {1, 2}

        Finally, arguments to atoms() can select more than atomic atoms: any
        SymPy type (loaded in core/__init__.py) can be listed as an argument
        and those types of "atoms" as found in scanning the arguments of the

        Substitutes old for new in an expression after sympifying args.

        `args` is either:
          - two arguments, e.g. foo.subs(old, new)
          - one iterable argument, e.g. foo.subs(iterable). The iterable may be
             o an iterable container with (old, new) pairs. In this case the

             o a dict or set whose key/value items correspond to old/new pairs.
               In this case the old/new pairs will be sorted by op count and in
               case of a tie, by number of args and the default_sort_key. The
               resulting sorted list is then processed as an iterable container
               (see previous).

        If the keyword ``simultaneous`` is True, the subexpressions will not be
        evaluated until all the substitutions have been made.

        Examples
        ========

        >>> from sympy import pi, exp, limit, oo
        >>> from sympy.abc import x, y
        >>> (1 + x*y).subs(x, pi)
        pi*y + 1
        >>> (1 + x*y).subs({x:pi, y:2})
        1 + 2*pi
        >>> (1 + x*y).subs([(x, pi), (y, 2)])
        1 + 2*pi
        >>> reps = [(y, x**2), (x, 2)]
        >>> (x + y).subs(reps)

        >>> (x + y).subs(reversed(reps))
        x**2 + 2

        >>> (x**2 + x**4).subs(x**2, y)
        y**2 + y

        To replace only the x**2 but not the x**4, use xreplace:

        >>> (x**2 + x**4).xreplace({x**2: y})
        x**4 + y

        To delay evaluation until all substitutions have been made,
        set the keyword ``simultaneous`` to True:

        >>> (x/y).subs([(x, 0), (y, 0)])
        0
        >>> (x/y).subs([(x, 0), (y, 0)], simultaneous=True)
        nan

        This has the added feature of not allowing subsequent substitutions
        to affect those already made:

        >>> ((x + y)/y).subs({x + y: y, y: x + y})
        1
        >>> ((x + y)/y).subs({x + y: y, y: x + y}, simultaneous=True)
        y/(x + y)

        In order to obtain a canonical result, unordered iterables are
        sorted by count_op length, number of arguments and by the
        default_sort_key to break any ties. All other iterables are left
        unsorted.

        >>> from sympy import sqrt, sin, cos
        >>> from sympy.abc import a, b, c, d, e

        >>> A = (sqrt(sin(2*x)), a)
        >>> B = (sin(2*x), b)
        >>> C = (cos(2*x), c)
        >>> D = (x, d)
        >>> E = (exp(x), e)

        >>> expr = sqrt(sin(2*x))*sin(exp(x)*x)*cos(2*x) + sin(2*x)

        >>> expr.subs(dict([A, B, C, D, E]))
        a*c*sin(d*e) + b

        The resulting expression represents a literal replacement of the
        old arguments with the new arguments. This may not reflect the
        limiting behavior of the expression:

        >>> (x**3 - 3*x).subs({x: oo})
        nan

        >>> limit(x**3 - 3*x, x, oo)
        oo

        If the substitution will be followed by numerical
        evaluation, it is better to pass the substitution to
        evalf as

        >>> (1/x).evalf(subs={x: 3.0}, n=21)
        0.333333333333333333333

        rather than

        >>> (1/x).subs({x: 3.0}).evalf(21)
        0.333333333333333314830

        as the former will ensure that the desired level of precision is
        obtained.

        >>> (z*(x + y) + 3).subs(x + y, 1)
        z + 3

        ** Developers Notes **

        An _eval_subs routine for a class should be written if:

            1) any arguments are not instances of Basic (e.g. bool, tuple);

            2) some arguments should not be targeted (as in integration
               variables);

            3) if there is something other than a literal replacement
               that should be attempted (as in Piecewise where the condition
               may be updated without doing a replacement).

        If it is overridden, here are some special cases that might arise:

            1) If it turns out that no special change was made and all
               the original sub-arguments should be checked for
               replacements then None should be returned.

            2) If it is necessary to do substitutions on a portion of
               the expression then _subs should be called. _subs will
               handle the case of any sub-expression being equal to old
               (which usually would not be the case) while its fallback
               will handle the recursion into the sub-arguments. For
               example, after Add's _eval_subs removes some matching terms
               it must process the remaining terms so it calls _subs
               on each of the un-matched terms and then adds them
               onto the terms previously obtained.

           3) If the initial expression should remain unchanged then
              the original expression should be returned. (Whenever an
              expression is returned, modified or not, no further
              substitution of old -> new is attempted.) Sum's _eval_subs
              routine uses this strategy when a substitution is attempted
              on any of its summation variables.

        Replace matching subexpressions of ``self`` with ``value``.

        If ``map = True`` then also return the mapping {old: new} where ``old``
        was a sub-expression found with query and ``new`` is the replacement
        value for it. If the expression itself doesn't match the query, then
        the returned value will be ``self.xreplace(map)`` otherwise it should
        be ``self.subs(ordered(map.items()))``.

        Traverses an expression tree and performs replacement of matching
        subexpressions from the bottom to the top of the tree. The default
        approach is to do the replacement in a simultaneous fashion so
        changes made are targeted only once. If this is not desired or causes
        problems, ``simultaneous`` can be set to False.

        In addition, if an expression containing more than one Wild symbol
        is being used to match subexpressions and the ``exact`` flag is None
        it will be set to True so the match will only succeed if all non-zero
        values are received for each Wild that appears in the match pattern.
        Setting this to False accepts a match of 0; while setting it True
        accepts all matches that have a 0 in them. See example below for
        cautions.

        The list of possible combinations of queries and replacement values
        is listed below:

        Examples
        ========

        Initial setup

        >>> from sympy import log, sin, cos, tan, Wild, Mul, Add
        >>> from sympy.abc import x, y
        >>> f = log(sin(x)) + tan(sin(x**2))

        1.1. type -> type
            obj.replace(type, newtype)

            When object of type ``type`` is found, replace it with the
            result of passing its argument(s) to ``newtype``.

            >>> f.replace(sin, cos)
            log(cos(x)) + tan(cos(x**2))
            >>> sin(x).replace(sin, cos, map=True)
            (cos(x), {sin(x): cos(x)})
            >>> (x*y).replace(Mul, Add)
            x + y

        1.2. type -> func
            obj.replace(type, func)

            When object of type ``type`` is found, apply ``func`` to its
            argument(s). ``func`` must be written to handle the number
            of arguments of ``type``.

            >>> f.replace(sin, lambda arg: sin(2*arg))
            log(sin(2*x)) + tan(sin(2*x**2))
            >>> (x*y).replace(Mul, lambda *args: sin(2*Mul(*args)))
            sin(2*x*y)

        2.1. pattern -> expr
            obj.replace(pattern(wild), expr(wild))

            Replace subexpressions matching ``pattern`` with the expression
            written in terms of the Wild symbols in ``pattern``.

            >>> a, b = map(Wild, 'ab')
            >>> f.replace(sin(a), tan(a))
            log(tan(x)) + tan(tan(x**2))
            >>> f.replace(sin(a), tan(a/2))
            log(tan(x/2)) + tan(tan(x**2/2))
            >>> f.replace(sin(a), a)
            log(x) + tan(x**2)
            >>> (x*y).replace(a*x, a)
            y

            Matching is exact by default when more than one Wild symbol
            is used: matching fails unless the match gives non-zero
            values for all Wild symbols:

            >>> (2*x + y).replace(a*x + b, b - a)
            y - 2
            >>> (2*x).replace(a*x + b, b - a)
            2*x

            When set to False, the results may be non-intuitive:

            >>> (2*x).replace(a*x + b, b - a, exact=False)
            2/x

        2.2. pattern -> func
            obj.replace(pattern(wild), lambda wild: expr(wild))

            All behavior is the same as in 2.1 but now a function in terms of
            pattern variables is used rather than an expression:

            >>> f.replace(sin(a), lambda a: sin(2*a))
            log(sin(2*x)) + tan(sin(2*x**2))

        3.1. func -> func
            obj.replace(filter, func)

            Replace subexpression ``e`` with ``func(e)`` if ``filter(e)``
            is True.

            >>> g = 2*sin(x**3)
            >>> g.replace(lambda expr: expr.is_Number, lambda expr: expr**2)
            4*sin(x**9)

        The expression itself is also targeted by the query but is done in
        such a fashion that changes are not made twice.

            >>> e = x*(x*y + 1)
            >>> e.replace(lambda x: x.is_Mul, lambda x: 2*x)
            2*x*(2*x*y + 1)

        When matching a single symbol, `exact` will default to True, but
        this may or may not be the behavior that is desired:

        Here, we want `exact=False`:

        >>> from sympy import Function
        >>> f = Function('f')
        >>> e = f(1) + f(0)
        >>> q = f(a), lambda a: f(a + 1)
        >>> e.replace(*q, exact=False)
        f(1) + f(2)
        >>> e.replace(*q, exact=True)
        f(0) + f(2)

        But here, the nature of matching makes selecting
        the right setting tricky:

        >>> e = x**(1 + y)
        >>> (x**(1 + y)).replace(x**(1 + a), lambda a: x**-a, exact=False)
        x
        >>> (x**(1 + y)).replace(x**(1 + a), lambda a: x**-a, exact=True)
        x**(-x - y + 1)
        >>> (x**y).replace(x**(1 + a), lambda a: x**-a, exact=False)
        x
        >>> (x**y).replace(x**(1 + a), lambda a: x**-a, exact=True)
        x**(1 - y)

        It is probably better to use a different form of the query
        that describes the target expression more precisely:

        >>> (1 + x**(1 + y)).replace(
        ... lambda x: x.is_Pow and x.exp.is_Add and x.exp.args[0] == 1,
        ... lambda x: x.base**(1 - (x.exp - 1)))
        ...
        x**(1 - y) + 1

        Rewrite *self* using a defined rule.

        Rewriting transforms an expression to another, which is mathematically
        equivalent but structurally different. For example you can rewrite
        trigonometric functions as complex exponentials or combinatorial
        functions as gamma function.

        This method takes a *pattern* and a *rule* as positional arguments.
        *pattern* is optional parameter which defines the types of expressions
        that will be transformed. If it is not passed, all possible expressions
        will be rewritten. *rule* defines how the expression will be rewritten.

        Parameters
        ==========

        args : *rule*, or *pattern* and *rule*.
            - *pattern* is a type or an iterable of types.
            - *rule* can be any object.

        deep : bool, optional.
            If ``True``, subexpressions are recursively transformed. Default is
            ``True``.

        Examples
        ========

        If *pattern* is unspecified, all possible expressions are transformed.

        >>> from sympy import cos, sin, exp, I
        >>> from sympy.abc import x
        >>> expr = cos(x) + I*sin(x)
        >>> expr.rewrite(exp)
        exp(I*x)

        Pattern can be a type or an iterable of types.

        >>> expr.rewrite(sin, exp)
        exp(I*x)/2 + cos(x) - exp(-I*x)/2
        >>> expr.rewrite([cos,], exp)
        exp(I*x)/2 + I*sin(x) + exp(-I*x)/2
        >>> expr.rewrite([cos, sin], exp)
        exp(I*x)

        Rewriting behavior can be implemented by defining ``_eval_rewrite()``
        method.
