:::: It's not about fairness. It IS the way the REXX language represents (stores) integers (and every kind/type of number). Now you get it. 75 is stored as the character sequence '75' !! There is no indirect symbolism here, that's just the way the REXX language stores EVERYTHING. No binary integers, no binary floating point numbers, no boolean switches/flags/bits, ... just characters. There is no indirection stages. Just the storing of characters. If you think that's indirect symbolism, then, yes, that's what I've been saying (above), bitwise operations on integers that are stored as characters doesn't make that much sense. But the REXX language does allow it --- but most uses of bitwise operations (on integers) aren't usually performed for arithmetic reasons as such). -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 19:11, 23 March 2012 (UTC) |

Such languages should also write about how they differ from the assumptions/try as best they can? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 12:57, 17 December 2018 (UTC) |
