The Asterisk Symbol in C

Image
The Asterisk Symbol in C:     Figure 1:   I scripted this asterisk in SVG.  You can view the source-code of this asterisk at my Codepen account. This symbol, in the C programming language, represents the multiplication operator. Multiplication, in C, is a binary [1] .   multiplicative operation.      Snippet 1:   The above-depicted program illustrates the use of the asterisk, in C, as a multiplication operator.      Figure 2:   What the program depicted above in Figure 2  looks like when compiled and run. The asterisk symbol, in CSS, is termed ‘the universal selector.’  It targets all of the elements of an HTML 5 document, so as to apply the values of style properties thereto. In SQL, the asterisk symbol represents ...

The Set of Natural Numbers:

     Figure 2:   The Natural Number Symbol that I scripted in SVG. The Natural Number symbol is a blackboard boldface ‘N’.      Figure 2:   The Natural Number Symbol exported as a PNG file. The set of Natural numbers can refer either to the set of non-negative integers, i.e.: {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...} or to the set of positive integers, i.e.: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...} The term, ‘natural numbers,’ refers to quantities observed in nature. One can have two apples; three pears or five bananas; how...

An Introduction to Modern Geometry: The Directed Line Segment

Image
Introduction to Modern Geometry Modern Geometry: The Directed Line Segment In Euclidean Geometry, line segments possess only magnitude, and not direction. A B      Figure 1:   In Euclidean Geometry, only the magnitude of line segments is considered. As we can see in Figure 1 , in Euclidean Geometry, the line segment: |AB| would be considered equal to the line segment: |BA| . However, this is not the case with Modern Geometry. In Modern Geometry, line segments not only possess magnitude, but direction also. A B      Figure 2:   In Modern Geometry, line segments possess direction as well as magnitude. In Modern Geometry: |AB| is termed: ‘a directed line segment’ . ...

There Does Not Exist

There Does Not Exist There Does Not Exist:      Figure 1:   A there does not exist symbol that I coded in SVG.      Figure 2:   What the SVG image depicted in Figure 1 looks like when exported as a .PNG file.      Figure 3:   The SVG code that generates the vector image depicted in Figure 1 . The symbol depicted in Figure 1 means: There does not exist .  This image is a rendering of the: There does not exist symbol as found in the: Cambria Math font as found in Microsoft Word . You may view the source code for this there-does-not-exists symbol at my Codepen  account. While I was at it, I re-rendered the: There Exists symbol so as to correspond with the symbol as rendered by the: Cambria Math font in Microsoft Word : There Exists Symbol (Cambria Math) ...
