minus-squarevala@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 hours agoThis is called “prefix notation”. The operator comes before the operands and every expression goes in parentheses. For instance you could write: (+ 1 2 3 4) Which would evaluate to 10. This syntax is from a family of programming languages usually called LISP. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisp_(programming_language)
