Let's say I have a concept of a set of three numbers:
- a minimum number the computed value can't drop below
- a middle number that's a scaling factor we'll use to compute a value
- a maximum number the computed value can't exceed
There are a few ways a set of numbers like this can be expressed:
- as a space-separated list:
10 20 30
- as a colon-separated list:
10:20:30
- as a comma-separated list:
10, 20, 30
- as a symbolic expression
(10 20 30)
- as an array (JSON shown):
[10, 20, 30]
- as an object (JSON shown):
{
"min": 10,
"mid": 20,
"max": 30
}
- as digits embedded in a string of text:
Never below 10, try to scale to 20%, but never exceed 30
- as numbers with
<and>(or∧and∨):
10 < 20 > 30
