Caret Notation - Alternate Notations

Alternate Notations

Acorn operating systems for the Atom, BBC Micro, Archimedes and later RISC OS machines use the vertical bar character | in place of the caret. e.g. |M (pronounced "control M") is the carriage return character, ASCII 13. || is the vertical bar character code 124, |? is character 127 as above and |! adds 128 to the code of the following character, so |!|? is character code 128+127 = 255.

Famous quotes containing the word alternate:

    It might become a wheel spoked red and white
    In alternate stripes converging at a point
    Of flame on the line, with a second wheel below,
    Just rising, accompanying, arranged to cross,
    Through weltering illuminations, humps
    Of billows, downward, toward the drift-fire shore.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
