Homework Statement
Hello,
I just have a question about LaTeX. I am writing a math paper. Is there a way to number/label my examples like I do for theorems and definitions? Thank you.
To label and number examples in LaTeX, use the command \label{example:label} after the \begin{example} command. Then, to reference the labeled example, use the command \ref{example:label} in the text.
Yes, you can customize the numbering format for your examples in LaTeX by using the command \newtheorem{example}{Example}[section] after the \begin{document} command. This will number your examples based on the section they appear in.
To reset the example numbering in LaTeX, use the command \setcounter{example}{0} after the \begin{document} command. This will reset the example counter to 0 and begin numbering from there.
Yes, you can add a prefix or suffix to your example numbers in LaTeX by using the command \renewcommand{\theexample}{Prefix \arabic{example} Suffix} after the \begin{document} command. This will add the specified prefix and suffix to your example numbers.
You can change the numbering style for your examples in LaTeX by using the command \renewcommand{\theexample}{\alph{example}} after the \begin{document} command. This will change the example numbers to use lowercase letters instead of numbers.
