format mathematica output a list of results

I have a list of expressions that operate on data.

Min[data]
Max[data]
Covariance[data, data1]
Mea开发者_运维百科n[data]
GeometricMean[data]
Total[data]
Sum[Log[data[[i]]], {i, 1, Length[data]}]
Sum[(data[[i]])^2, {i, 1, Length[data]}]

The output looks like this

Out[1]= 1.9
Out[2]= 3.1
....

Is it possible to show the result along with its expression? For example

Min[data] = 1.9
Max[data] = 3.1
....

Any advice on how to format that kind of output for easy reading is welcome!

You could use

$PrePrint = 
  Function[a, 
   Row[{ToExpression[InString[$Line], StandardForm, HoldForm], " = ", 
     a}]];

which is fine for small inputs, but perhaps not what you want for multiline inputs.

(You can turn this off again with Unset[$PrePrint])

data = {1, 2, 3, 4};
data1 = {2, 1, 4, 3};

ClearAll[exprShowAndEvaluate];
SetAttributes[exprShowAndEvaluate, {HoldAll, Listable}];
exprShowAndEvaluate[expr_] := Print[HoldForm[expr], "=", expr];

exprShowAndEvaluate[{Min[data],
   Max[data],
   Covariance[data, data1],
   Mean[data],
   GeometricMean[data],
   Total[data],
   Sum[Log[data[[i]]], {i, 1, Length[data]}],
   Sum[(data[[i]])^2, {i, 1, Length[data]}]}];

(* output ==>

*)

Update
In his comment below Usavich, indicated he wants to pass a list of these expressions assigned to a variable to the function. This is not directly possible as the expressions evaluate in the process:

 expr =
 {
  Min[data], Max[data], Covariance[data, data1], Mean[data],
  GeometricMean[data], Total[data],
  Sum[Log[data[[i]]], {i, 1, Length[data]}],
  Sum[(data[[i]])^2, {i, 1, Length[data]}]
  }

(* Output ==>
  {1, 4, 1, 5/2, 2^(3/4) 3^(1/4), 10, Log[2] + Log[3] + Log[4], 30}
*)

You have to Hold the expression list before assigning:

expr =
 Hold[
  {
   Min[data], Max[data], Covariance[data, data1], Mean[data],
   GeometricMean[data], Total[data],
   Sum[Log[data[[i]]], {i, 1, Length[data]}],
   Sum[(data[[i]])^2, {i, 1, Length[data]}]
   }
  ]

With a new version of exprShowAndEvaluate we can process expr:

ClearAll[exprShowAndEvaluate];
exprShowAndEvaluate[expr_Hold] :=
  Module[{tempExpr},
     tempExpr = ReleaseHold[Map[HoldForm, expr, {2}]];
     Print[#1, "=", ReleaseHold[#1]] & /@ tempExpr
   ];

The function can now be called with the held list:

exprShowAndEvaluate[expr]

Results as before.

As a sidebar, you have two functions that can be simplified:

Sum[Log[data[[i]]], {i, 1, Length[data]}]
Sum[(data[[i]])^2, {i, 1, Length[data]}]

Since version 6, these can be written more concisely and readably:

Sum[Log[i], {i, data}]
Sum[i^2, {i, data}]
