the documentation for this is very vague:

  • how exactly does this update? like, in what order should each command be processed?
    • should all changes take place after each command is ran or as they're being executed?
  • ()( ( in a case like this, would the right parenthesis ) copy to the right? and what would happen to the right-most parenthesis?
  • for the newline rule, does this mean that a () pair would both copy itself to the right and below at the same time? for something like:
  • ()(
    ()
  • what exactly is the order of each rule?

it's just hard to follow the wording aadenboy (talk|contribs) 16:31, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

Hello, thanks for the questions. I know this is quite vague, however ive never really bothered to fix it because I dont care about that much anymore, however, since your asking, I will try and clear it up. This will however, take a while, because I cant remember how the language functioned. Thanks for you time, and see you. --Yayimhere2(school) (talk) 04:53, 16 November 2025 (UTC)
Below are your answers:
  • "how exactly does this update? like, in what order should each command be processed?" This is written on the page now, top to bottom left to right
  • "()( ( in a case like this, would the right parenthesis ) copy to the right? and what would happen to the right-most parenthesis?" because of the evaluation order, the interpreter wouldnt career about the rightmost symbol, and as such it would be overwritten.
  • "for the newline rule, does this mean that a () pair would both copy itself to the right and below at the same time?" yes!
  • "what exactly is the order of each rule?" they are evaluated as they are listed.
