whatever the syntax of the programming language is it should at least
alternatively be compatible with mathematical notations. That's why humans
invented mathematical formulas - they go beyond limitations of human
language. Many do programming to implement complex mathematical models. So
if mathematical language they use needs to be translated into something else
this requires additional efforts and may be a source of errors. In some
languages x=x+1 is written like x++, but once you know it - this is no
longer a problem. This simply means counter. In mathematics one frequently
needs to write iterative functions, formulas that use their output to
compute new value, which goes into the same formula as a variable again
x(n+1)=x(n)+1 is this sort of formula.
It would be nice to have a separate mathematical module for Rev Studio, that
allows usage of purely mathematical constructions.
All the best
