Anglish Operators and Functions

Anglish allows the algebraic operator "X" to be used for multiplication. It can be confused with the letter "x" which is often used as an 'unknown' in algebraic equations. So the standard programming operator for multiplication, "*", is preferable in Anglish programs. The tables below gives the Anglish operators and functions. Function names are reserved words in Anglish and can not be used for table, row or column names. However, they may be used in compound names
