* >< [ ] ; ! :_ " What is it called in English?
Hi!
I realized that I needed some help with some regular signs. I use them all the time, but i need to know what their names are in english, can someone please help me?
These are the signs:
* What is it called in general, and what it is called when used in math, to multiply numbers?
; What is it called in English?
( and ) ?
[ and ] ?
> and < in mathematical terms?
Under_the_line, how do you say _ ?
! ?
“ two dots over the word, and what it is called when a word is “within” ?
% ?
: ?
‘ what it that dot called?
I also have some questions about different signs in programming terms and mathematical terms:
!= how do you say that in programming terms?
>= how do you say that in programming terms?
/* when words are */ within “invisible”-signs in programmingcode, how do one say it?
With kind regards
