Simple Operators

some basic foundations to let numbers interact

Anchor 1

Equality

In math, one of the most important concept is relationship between 2 entities. The Equality Group uses the symbol "a balanced scale" as its radical. These symbols accept 2 inputs, one on it's left, another one on it's right, just like how we normally use them.

this is a balance

it is so balanced that we need another line to emphasize it

≡

a wibble wobble balance, almost balanced

≈

not balanced, the level is not even on the fulcrum

≠

left side is lighter

left side is heavier

left side is lighter but acceptable

≤

left side is heavier but acceptable

≥

Just like normal equal, 2 operands are on both sides, both for String Script and Story board script.

Anchor 2

Encapsulation & Separation

In other words, brackets or parenthesis.

They also come in pairs, just like the brackets we know.

The only difference is that we use the number of horizontal strokes to identify which open bracket and close bracket should be paired.

Sometimes, we need to list a collection of items, we separate them by using what we call a "math coma", which is different from a "speech coma".

Here we have list of items : "apple, orange, lemon, box"

Anchor 3

Positive & Negative

in normal math, some of us will get confused between minus and negative, in Astralica, both the minus sign (will be covered afterwards) and the negative sign are totally different. To specify if a number is negative, simply put the sign before the number

positive

negative
