Implied Multiply

Format: k x

Arguments: (real) k Any real number in literal form (e.g., 2, 3.4, etc.)

[num] x Any number to be multiplied by k

Returns: [num] Product of k and x

Description: The Multiply operator can be omitted in expressions where a number is followed by a constant or function. For example, 3x is the assumed to be 3*x. However, yx is not y*x but instead is a reference to the node named yx.

It is important to note that Implied Multiply is of higher precedence that normal multiplication. This means that an expression such as 1/2PI is the same as 1/(2*PI) not (1/2)*PI.

Examples: 2PI = 6.283

1/2PI = 0.159

4m/2sec = 2 m/sec
