Sorry, I'm not understanding your question. 1+2 = 3 2*2 = 4 (1,2,3) U (2,3,5) = (1,2,3,5) (1,2,3) ^ (2,3,5) = (2,3) (1,2,3) x (2,3,5) = ((1,2),(1,3), (1,5), (2,2), (2,3), (2,5) ...) # yes, no nested lists. But what about # n-dim arrays/matrices/tensors/whatevers Seems just as useful as sin, cos, tan, **, and the other mathematical operations. And the proposals to make matrix operations ala Basic's MAT. Unless you want to go with my Set (@a, @b, @c); # Is the type distributive? @c = @a - @b; @c = @a + @b; @c = @a * @b; # cross product ? I'm not understaning your position. I could have used such an operation rather than rolling my own. And a module would be too heavy handed for such a simple concept. <chaim> -- Chaim Frenkel Nonlinear Knowledge, Inc.
