a — seuss: an infix.   opposite: e   see: vowel ✍

e — seuss: an infix.   opposite: a   is: vowel   mentioned: cardinal ✍

vowel — a and e are opposites. i and o are opposites. u implies both i and o. y stands alone. l and r are opposites but nominal outcasts of the vowels.   aka: a, l, r   classes: e, i, o, u ✍

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 ✍

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 ✍

l — left.   opposite: r   see: vowel ✍

r — see: right, readable   see: vowel   opposite: l, w ✍

y — the second dimension.   the vertical axis.   seuss: a suffix that connotes that a function applies to multiple elements instead of a single element from a collection.   is: dimension   perl: [string]: transliterate a string; see: [map] and [zip]†   mentioned: atan, atan2, pishy, poshy, slice, tan, 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 ✍

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 ✍

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

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 ✍

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 ✍

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 ✍

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 ✍

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 ✍

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 ✍

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

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

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

ne — not equal.   ne(a, b) is equivalent to not(eq(a, b)).   logical xor.   is: binary relation   opposite: eq   mentioned: ordinal ✍
