i — an infix that connotes that a function applies to the beginning of a linear collection.   opposite: o   is: vowel   aka: u ✍

o — an affix that connotes that a function applies to the end of a linear collection.   opposite: i   is: vowel   aka: u ✍

u — an infix that connotes that a function operates on both the beginning and end of a linear collection.   see: i, o   is: vowel ✍

nominal — a value, usually a number, that has a corresponding name in an enumeration (enumerate).   a number that indicates an identity.   nominal values are ordinal by default, but may be cardinal.   related: cardinal, ordinal ✍

cardinal — having a range that excludes zero.   a number that indicates a quantity.   related: nominal, ordinal   pertains to directions that are parallel with an axis.   includes: n, s, w, e   aka: cardinality   mentioned: intercardinal ✍

left — opposite: right   mentioned: l, pad, rot ✍

right — opposite: left   aka: r   mentioned: pad, readable, rot ✍

w — writable.   opposite: r, readable   is: permission   mentioned: cardinal ✍

dimension — classes: x, y, z   mentioned: linear, meat space, origin, planar, plane, plot, ragged, scalar, transpose, uniform, vector ✍

atan — returns the arctangent angle of a right triangle on the origin for a given ratio of the y axis edge length divided by the x axis edge length.   the angle between the x axis edge and the hypotenuse of a right triangle on the origin.   inverse: tan (partial since right triangles with infinite x or y edges are not expressible or distinguishable as ratios)   related: atan2   is: trig   php: arc tangent &dagger.   aka: arctangent ✍

atan2 — returns the arctangent angle of a right triangle on the origin for a given y axis edge length and x axis edge length.   related: atan   inverse: tan   is: trig   perl: [number]: arctangent of Y/X in the range -PI to PI†   php: arc tangent of two variables &dagger.   aka: arctangent ✍

pishy — seuss: pish y ✍

poshy — seuss: posh y   python: extend ✍

slice — returns the corresponding values for a given range of indicies (indexy).   is: stateless   python: slice([start,] stop[, step]) Create a slice object. This is used for extended slicing (e.g. a[0:10:2]).†   aka: array slice   mentioned: indices ✍

tan — returns the tangent of an angle.   related: sin, cos   inverse: atan (loses vertical and horizontal angles), atan2 (requires ratio components x and y)   is: trig   php: tangent &dagger.   inverse: atan2   related: atanh, tanh ✍

ordinal — having a range that includes zero.   a number that indicates a position (a cursor) by way of its index from zero.   related: cardinal, nominal   pertains to directions that are half way between two cardinal directions.   includes: nw, ne, sw, se   related: cardinal   aka: subcardinal   mentioned: enumerate, intercardinal, second ✍

value — data of any class.   see: def, variable   aka: datum   related: dict ✍

number — concept: a whole, natural, integer, real, or complex numeric value.   a transitive function that returns the corresponding number, usually limited to a subset of the real domain like int or float. ✍

enumerate — to assign nominal values to each respective value in a list, effectively creating the map that relates each ordinal offset in a list with its respective value.   python: enumerate(iterable) -> iterator for index, value of iterable Return an enumerate object. iterable must be an other object that supports iteration. The enumerate object yields pairs containing a count (from zero) and a value yielded by the iterable argument. enumerate is useful for obtaining an indexed list, (0, seq[0]), (1, seq[1]), (2, seq[2]).†   mentioned: next ✍

bar — the second nominal meta syntactic variable name.   is: meta syntactic   related: foo, baz, qux, quux ✍

baz — the third nominal meta syntactic variable name.   is: meta syntactic   related: foo, bar, qux, quux ✍

flob — the fourth nominal meta syntactic variable name in the british tradition. ✍

flop — seuss: opposite: flip   the fourth nominal meta syntactic variable name in the british tradition.   is: meta syntactic   related: wibble, wobble, wubble   opposite: flip ✍

foo — the first nominal meta syntactic variable name.   is: meta syntactic   related: bar, baz, qux, quux ✍

quux — the fifth nominal meta syntactic variable name. further meta syntactic variables may be constructed with additional "u" characters.   is: meta syntactic   related: foo, bar, baz, qux ✍

qux — the fourth nominal meta syntactic variable name.   is: meta syntactic   related: foo, bar, baz, quux ✍

n — mentioned: cardinal, ce ✍

s — perl: [regex]: replace a pattern with a string†   mentioned: cardinal ✍

cardinality — math: size, magnitude, length, thus cardinality values are in the domain of zero and positive real numbers.   see: cardinal, length ✍

zero — returns the arithmetic identity of a class, object, or group. this is a value that when added to any value of a particular class returns the same value. for numbers, this is the value of zero (0). for any collection class, this is an empty collection. for a string, this is a null string, "". for a tuple, this is the nuple.   related: unit   related: add, false, sub ✍

identity: x add x.class.zero = x

direction — mentioned: cardinal, intercardinal, ordinal, vector ✍

parallel — mentioned: cardinal, skew ✍

axis — a line that passes through an origin, passes through every value in one dimension, and is orthogonal with all others.   mentioned: atan, atan2, cardinal, plot ✍

intercardinal — pertains to directions that are half way between a cardinal direction and the neighboring ordinal direction.   includes: nne, ene, ese, sse, ssw, wsw, wnw, nnw   aka: subsubcardinal ✍

pad — pad a numeric string with a particular character, "0" by default, on either the left or right side or into the "center" or distributed among the interpolated spaces as in justify, by default left, so that the resultant string has a given minimum length.   is: stateless   related: sprintf   related: center   aka: zfill ✍

example: pad("1", 3) eq "001"

example: pad("1", 3, " ") eq " 1"

permission — includes: readable, writable, executable, traversable   classes: executable, readable, w, writable ✍

x — the first dimension.   the horizontal exist.   is: dimension   an abbreviation for executable.   mentioned: atan, atan2, tan ✍
