Currently listed as "textvektor", but I think "zeichenvektor" is better, as per https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Char_(Datentyp) while "text" implies a 1-dimensional human-readable sequence, "zeichenvektor" is extendable to "zeichenskalar" and "zeichenmatrix".

I don't like "Stille Funktion" as that is confusable with a ''shy function'', though that should arguably be "Scheue Funktion". "Stille" sounds to me like the function is quiet in the sense that it exhibits no observable effect, i.e. the "stille" goes on flow from the function to the world (the result), while tacit functions are quiet in the sense of not ''mentioning'' the outside world (the arguments). The meaning of "tacit" here is that the arguments are ''implied'' rather than stated, so maybe "implizite Function" is better?

:"Stille" was based on a suggestion from JoHo, but your argument sounds reasonable. Mathematics also know about "implicit fns" and I think they could be seen as relatives, so I will change. --[[User:MichaelBaas|MichaelBaas]] ([[User talk:MichaelBaas|talk]]) 12:47, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
