Abstract
The facilities for floating point computation within the framework of a string language currently operating on the PDP-10 at the Western Electric Company Engineering Research Center are considered to be a sublanguage.
This sublanguage is accessed through use of the * (asterisk) as a function marker in lieu of the colon, and such use causes execution of all of the available arithmetic functions as well as a family of additional functions whose names are the same as those used in Fortran.
The list of functions that will execute in this sublanguage is displayed through execution of ** (LF), expression.
