⍝ Line Vectors: cvec←'Incidentally, using the terms "successor" and "predecessor" as opposed to "increment" and "decrement" stems from having a <denotational> rather than <operational> view of a function. In other words, a function is seen as denoting the mapping between the sets that comprise its domain and range, rather than as a prescription for the operation that converts one into the other. To take a specific example: Min''s ''+'' doesn''t increment its argument; it leaves it alone and denotes its successor as result. Given this view, words from the subset of nouns that can be used as determiners (first of, reverse of, ···), seem more appropriate than transitive verbs as names for functions. Specifically: sum, difference, product and quotient appear preferable to: add, subtract, multiply and divide.' 60 wrap cvec Incidentally, using the terms "successor" and "predecessor" as opposed to "increment" and "decrement" stems from having a <denotational> rather than <operational> view of a function.
