The infix math operators take two arguments, left hand side and right hand side. You cannot use a nested list as left hand side argument in a math infix operation. The left hand size is a single list that determines the number of items in each result list. The right hand side determines the structure of the result in terms of number of lists.

For example,

[1,2,3] * [3,4] = [3,6,9],[4,8,12]

means that each result list has three items, as determined by the left hand size, and there are two three-item list as determined by the right hand side.

Lists as math arguments affect the following math functions:

addition (a+b)
subtraction (a-b)
division (a/b)
multiplication (a*b)
power(a,b)
Modulo, mod(a,b)

For example, let us calculate (a*b) where a=[1,2,3] and b=[[3,4],[4,5]]. You can write the arguments as shown in the following table:

You can do the following basic computation of (a*b):

The result of the computation is as follows:

To compute power and modulo, power(a,b) or mod(a,b), see the following examples.

The following example describes how to use the modulo operator:

The following example describes how to use the power operator:
