(Note: apostrophe) (Note: hyphen) |
There are three unary operators: ' (not), + (plus), and (minus).
Not inverts the truth value of the expratom immediately to its right. The value of 'expratom is 1 if the truth-value interpretation of expratom is 0; otherwise its value is 0. Note that '' performs the truth-value interpretation.
Plus is merely an explicit means of taking a numeric interpretation. The value of +expratom is the numeric interpretation of the value of expratom.
Minus negates the numeric interpretation of expratom. The value of -expratom is the numeric interpretation of -N, where N is the value of expratom.
Note that the order of application of unary operators is right-to-left.
