BQN types

Now that all six BQN types have been introduced, let's make a table:

Now that six of the seven BQN types have been introduced, let's make a diagram:

Lists are just one-dimensional arrays. Types are divided into data types, which tend to have a subject role, and operation types, which tend to have a role matching their type. Also, any value that's not an array, such as everything we used in the last tutorial, is called an atom.

Arithmetic on lists

Arithmetic functions automatically apply to each element of a list argument. If both arguments are lists, they have to have the same length, and they're matched up one element at a time.

Lot of functions up there. Notice how I need to use parentheses for the left argument of a function if it's compound, but never for the right argument, and consequently never with a one-argument function.
