--- Quote from: Zero999 on April 09, 2019, 08:41:50 am ---I've also seen using superscript for the minus, but don't know whether it's correct or not. -34 = 81 --- End quote --- It isn't correct for normal arithmetic/maths. In APL "high minus" is normal notation for a negative number (i.e. part of the number itself), with minus being reserved for the subtraction operation. I've heard "high minus 3" pronounced "neg 3". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APL_syntax_and_symbols |

If you write -3x , it should be negative independently on x. The sign can not depend on x even or odd! |

Chicken in our world aren't linearly scalable, so if you cut off 1/3 of the "one and a half chicken", you'll get a dead chicken ;D |

Chickens lay drumsticks. Half a chicken lays dead. In a supermarket. For $5.25 a pound. |
