At least LISP is consistant, everything is
postfixed. I just have
a problem debugging LISP because I can't follow the order of
operation as easily ( I suspose one does get used to it ).
"post" = "after". Lisp is *pre*fixed, i. e., it uses the original
Polish notation, rather than the reverse Polish notation foisted on
us by a calculator manufacturer.[1]
Oops!
Your right.It was early in the morning for me.
