In [[A Programming Language]], prefix and suffix operations were described using the syntax <math> | In [[A Programming Language]], prefix and suffix operations were described using the syntax <math>\alpha^j/x</math> to take the first <math>j</math> elements of vector <math>x</math> and <math>\omega^j/x</math> for the last <math>j</math> elements. This combined a use of the special prefix and suffix vectors <math>\alpha^j(n)</math> and <math>\omega^j(n)</math> with [[Compress|compression]], with the length <math>n</math> inferred based on the length of <math>x</math>. The symbol <math>↑</math> was used for vector [[Rotate]], while <math>↓</math> rotated in the opposite direction.<ref>Iverson, K.E. (1962). A Programming Language. Wiley.
