@ & Combinatorial Arguments

• Array of Functions apply to Array of Data (@)
  • Combinatorial Arguments
    • • Avoids Loops
• Functions apply Function (@)
• Easy Function Definition

1..10@SIN;
[3..10,5..10]@CHIDIST;
1..10@[SIN,COS,"x^2"];

Units & Constants

• 4m, 40ly, 45(m/s)
• %g, %c, %avo
• Seamless in Functions

%g;
%avo;
