Primitives

DecisionPro's intrinsic functions, called primitives, are available immediately upon starting the program. The term Primitive can be a bit misleading because it implies that these functions perform simple tasks. While it is true that the set of primitives includes some simple functions, it also includes complex ones such as numeric integration and linear optimization. Primitives are, more properly, the basic building blocks used in node formulas.

There are two types of primitives, operators and functions. Each is described in the following sections.
