Do programming languages actually exist where sin is a prefix operator? As far as I know, it's always a function requiring parentheses around its argument sin(x), thus avoiding the ambiguity mentioned in the article.

Yes. Haskell has such a function, as well as sin appearing as a postfix operator in the PostScript programming language. Dysprosia 11:55, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Is Common operator notation really a term in Computer Science? There's only 125 Google references, and almost all of those are to copies of this page. There is a commonality of operator notation among the computer languages descendent mostly from Fortran, but this page rambles on for quite a while without really capturing the essence of the idea. (Sorry for being vague, but this article's vague approach to its topic gave me a vague impression of vagueness.) Tom Duff 19:49, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
