:::I don't know why Pari-GP always seems to be written in this Code Golf fashion which makes it very difficult for simple folk such as me to understand. However, I can tell you that '\' is the Euclidean quotient operator which (in effect) rounds the result of the division to the lower integer towards zero. See [https://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/dochtml/html/Standard_monadic_or_dyadic_operators.html here]. Confusingly, it's also the line continuation token --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 13:23, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
::: And the '\' is the comment character (when doubled, but that still makes string searches laborious). But, yes... I think I understand \ for the real domain (parigp also supports other domains and I haven't seen examples of how those play out, but... hopefully that's not an issue here -- though, from my perspective lack of illustrative examples is more difficult to deal with than the "code golf" presentation, perhaps less difficult than typos (such as we see in the examples for '%' in the u-bordeaux.fr reference).
::: Anyways, thanks -- I think I have enough here to go on, ... though I'm not completely sure, yet. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 14:25, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
