]A,B] Real number range including (B) but not (A), i.e.
x: A < x ≤ B
{ }
]A,B[ Real number range excluding (A) and (B), i.e. the open
x : A < x < B
interval or set { }
[A(1)B] Set of integers { A , A+1 , A+2 ... B } including (A) and (B)
[A(2)B[ Set of integers { A , A+2 , A+4 ... B-2 } including (A) but not
(B)
]A(1)B] Set of integers { A+1 , A+2 ... B } including (B) but not (A)

0.6 Function Definitions
A ≡ B (A) is directly equivalent to (B), and may be replaced by it
a : = a + 1 The assignment statement, e.g. (a) is replaced by (a) + 1.
A : = B
] C,
D ]
(A) is equal to (B) subject to exclusive lower limit (C), and
inclusive upper limit (D). In this example the value of (A) is
limited to the range ]C,D].
A : = B
D[
(A) is equal to (B) subject to exclusive upper limit (D). In
this example the value of (A) is limited above by (D) with an
arbitrary lower bound.
A : = B
[ C
(A) is equal to (B) subject to inclusive lower limit (C). In
this example the value of (A) is limited above by (C) with an
arbitrary upper bound.
sign(A,B) Magnitude of (A) with the sign of (B)
