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
