Reading Paulson!! Right ON!! lol
[quote] ML also permits symbolic names. These consist of the characters ! % & $ # + - * / : < = > ? @ \ ˜ ‘ ˆ |
Names made up of these characters can be as long as you like: ----> $ˆ$ˆ$ˆ$ !!?@**??!! :-|==>-># Certain strings of special characters are reserved for ML’s syntax and should not be used as symbolic names: : | = => -> # :>
A symbolic name is allowed wherever an alphabetic name is: val +-+-+ = 1415; > val +-+-+ = 1415 : int [/quote]
What purpose would this cryptic-tude serve? Obfuscation? Seeding brain cancer? What? Or do most of you simply ignore this allowance?
Enjoying Paulson!! And so far, Poly&Paulson are a team!! :)
