Mathematical notation is not perfect, but it does a pretty good job of choosing clarity when ambiguity might be a problem. For a basic example, the fraction bar for division makes groupings obvious, where a single '/' in a long string of text can get visually lost. Of course it's understandable that most programming languages would shy away from special notation like that in favor of plain text, but it gives mathematical notation a strong clarity advantage, in my opinion. |
