juxtaposition

juxtaposition

When you write two things next to one another, you juxtapose them. Juxtaposition can be thought of as being similar to a binary operator. For example, in mathematics it is common to indicate multiplication of two expressions by writing them next to one another. So, in much of mathematics, juxtaposition stands for multiplication. Juxtaposition has a precedence and associativity, just like operators. For example, in mathematics, juxtaposition normally has higher precedence than addition but lower precedence than exponentiation. In Astarte, juxtaposition does not stand for mulitiplication.
