To underscore our point, concatenation on strings is not associative, either.

To that end, the basics of math in associative, cumulative, distributive, etc., go together to create an algebra of what you can automate rather easily. I think most of us stopped thinking in terms of those laws years ago. To the point that it is probably odd to folks that stayed close to them.

I think you mean commutative. It certainly is associative.

Ha! Yes. I meant to draw attention to all of the fundamental laws people are used to. Messed up in some edit.

Thanks!
