Summary of FAUST Notation Styles

In summary, FAUST supports the following notational variations for the expression f(x,y) = x+2*y:

• Core: x,y:f
• Functional (``applicative''): f(x,y)
• Partial application: y:f(x)
• Infix: x+2*y

In a post to the FAUST mailing list, Yann Orlarey writes: ``How do you choose between core, infix and partial application notations? It is largely a matter of taste. Personally, I like to combine core notation (for the overall structure) with partial application notation (for the slowly varying ``parameters'') ... and infix notation for mathematical expressions.''
