I am trying to evaluate:
syms x y
eq = (x^2 + y^3 == 31)
solve(eq)
eqs = [x^2 + y^3 == 31, x^2 == 31 - y^3]
S = solve(eq,[x y])
S.x and S.y still not 2 and 3
i am expecting to get as answer two integer: x=2 and y=3. How can i do it?
Thanks

syms x y integer
eq = (x^2 + y^3 == 31)
solx = solve(eq,x,'returnconditions',true)
soly = solve(solx.conditions)
X = subs(solx.x,y,soly)
Y = soly
Caution: this kind of process will not generally attempt to find more than one solution for solx.conditions. But you could
soly = solve(eq,y,'returnconditions',true)
solx = arrayfun(@solve, soly.conditions, 'uniform', 0)
X = solx{2}
Y = subs(soly.y(2), x, X)

solve can be used for simple problems. Use fsolve or vpasolve to get numerical results

Not the point. The point is that solve() is having difficulty processing integer constraints in this case. fsolve and vpasolve have no chance of processing integer constraints.
