^Richard** : LET'S NOT MUCK AROUND WITH R SYNTAX ANY MORE
Fully agreed Richard. There is a tax for trying to redeem for an old syn. Who really wants to pay the price given the disruption it can cause? I do wonder if someone has already implemented a language that allows sub and superscripts in actual programming. Clearly exponentiation could be done if there was a way, as in LaTeX to specify the beginning of a superscripted region and the end of it. Modern screens, within limits, could show such code using smaller fonts or other techniques such as colors albeit a deeply nested example would be a mess. And, I suspect some languages may not tolerate it well such as when python uses indentation for grouping. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide https://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
