## @deftypefn {Function File} {@var{p} =} poly2sym (@var{c}, @var{x})
## Creates a symbolic polynomial expression @var{p} with coefficients @var{c}.
## If @var{p} is not specified, the free variable is set to sym("x"). @var{c}
## may be a vector or a cell-array of symbols. @var{x} may be a symbolic
## expression or a string.
## The coefficients correspond to decreasing exponent of the free variable.
##
## Example:
## @example
## symbols
## x = sym("x");
## y = sym("y");
## p = poly2sym ([2,5,-3]); # p = 2*x^2+5*x-3
## c = poly2sym (@{2*y,5,-3@},x); # p = 2*y*x^2+5*x-3
## @end example
##
## @seealso{sym2poly,polyval,roots}
## @end deftypefn
function p = poly2sym(c,x)
if exist("x")!=1
x = sym("x");
endif
N = length(c);
if !iscell(c)
tmp = c;
c = cell;
for i=1:N
c(i) = tmp(i);
endfor
endif
p = vpa(0);
for i=1:N
if isnumeric(c{i})
p = p*x+vpa(c{i});
else
p = p*x+c{i};
endif
