plus (+)

Arguments

X,Y

scalars, vectors, matrices or hypermatrices of booleans, numbers, polynomials, or rationals. They may also be syslin lists.

str1, str2

two texts, vectors, matrices, or hypermatrices of texts.

Description

For numeric operands, the addition has its usual meaning.

Adding booleans together or to numbers of integer, decimal or complex type performs the implicit conversions %F => 0 and %T => 1 before processing. The result has the type of the input numbers, or is decimal for booleans added together.

For two texts, + concatenates (glues) them together.

If an operand is an array and the other one is a scalar, the scalar is applied (added or glued) to each component of the array.

If an operand is the empty matrix [], the result is [].

The addition operator may be extended to other data types through overloading.

Examples

[1, 2] + 1
[] + 2
%s + 2
1/%s + %s
"con" + ["catenate" "crete" "sole"]

--> [1, 2] + 1
 ans  =
   2.   3.

--> [] + 2
 ans  =
    []

--> %s + 2
 ans  =
   2 +s

--> 1/%s + %s
 ans  =
        2
   1 + s
   ------
     s

--> "con" + ["catenate" "crete" "sole"]
 ans  =
!concatenate  concrete  console  !

With booleans:

[%f %f %t %t] + [%f %t %f %t]
%f + [-1 0 2 %i]
%t + [-1 0 2 %i]

--> [%f %f %t %t] + [%f %t %f %t]
 ans  =
   0.   1.   1.   2.

--> %f + [-1 0 2 %i]
 ans  =
  -1.   0.   2.   i

--> %t + [-1 0 2 %i]
 ans  =
   0.   1.   3.   1. + i
