BQN manages to pass as a normal programming language for three lines so far. That's a big accomplishment for BQN! Earth's a confusing place! -The number of spaces between *primitive functions* like `+` and `-` and their *arguments* doesn't matter: you can use as much or as little as you like. No spaces inside numbers, of course. +The number of spaces between *primitive functions* like `+` and `-` and their *arguments* doesn't matter: you can use as much or as little as you like. No spaces inside numbers, of course. On that note, there's a special minus sign `¯` for use as part of a number, which you can see in the output `¯1.5` above (since `-1.5` consists of a function and a number it's often less convenient to use). 2 × π 9 ÷ 2 |
