I am using Mathematica 11.3.0.0, 64 bit.



Here is my code:



Graphics[Thread[Circle[-1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0.5, 1.0, 0.5]]]


Here is code as it looks in a notebook:





On mouseover on , 1, 0:





But when I evaluate that code I am getting the right output:





Question:



Why , 1, 0 is colored in red but evaluates right? Is it a bug? Or maybe I am doing something wrong?

  • Everything is fine. That's just the syntax highlighter. If it makes you feel better, you can use MapThread[Circle, -1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0.5, 1.0, 0.5] instead.

    SyntaxInformation[Circle] gives "ArgumentsPattern" -> Optional[_, _], _., Optional[_, _]. That is, the first argument (if it is used) should be a list of two elements.

Is Circle[-1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0.5, 1.0, 0.5] a valid input? I hope it is clear it is not.



Will Thread[Circle[-1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0.5, 1.0, 0.5]] evaluate to something reasonable? It will but you don't want a front end to evaluate your code behind the hood to determine this. Consider consequences if that was something less trivial.
