logical, relational and arithmetic functions behaviour.

[manuelb]

(From the old tol forums)
All logic, bitwise, relational and arithmetic functions, like sum(+), AND(&),
etc. are shown as normal procedures/functions, eventhough their use is much
more alike.
See this example:

• Function: Real Sum(Real x1 [, Real x2, ...])
• Use: Real Sum(4, 5, 1) {= 10}

• Function: Real +(Real x1, Real x2)
• Use: Real +(4, 5, 1) {= ERROR}
• Correct use: Real 4+5+1 {= 10}

I think it would be more clarifying to describe the functions as they are
used. In fact, the original doubt I had was about the logic operators '&', '|'
and '!'.

• '&' is the logical operator equivalence for 'And', but has a different

logical use.

• '|' is the logical operator equivalence for 'Or', but has a different

logical use.

• '!' is the logical operator equivalence for 'Not(And())', but has a similar

behaviour.

By the way: The operator '!' does not come in the Real functions list.

This bug has been resolved.
If you are working with CVS, you must update your Tol and Toltcl sources.

Each Tol Type shows information for each function (also operators) with the
format they should be used. For example:

Operator Real &, before changes -> Real &(Real x1, Real x2)
Operator Real &, after changes -> x1 & x2 {Real x1, Real x2}
