Parenthesis give me a headache. You see my point! Any logic system (or even language) which is heavily dependent on extra symbols or punctuation so as to remove/avoid ambiguity is higly inefficient. That's what makes RPN such a model of simple elegance. Its straightforward syntax and structure completely fulfill the idea of flawless mathematical and logic methodologies. |
