Infix Notation

Definition: Infix notation is a method of writing arithmetic expressions in which the operators are placed between the operands.

Sense 1 (Mathematics): In mathematics, infix notation refers to the conventional way of representing mathematical operations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, by placing the operator between the operands. For example, the infix notation for the expression "2 + 3" is "2 + 3".

Sense 2 (Computer Science): In computer science, infix notation is a common method used for writing arithmetic expressions in programming languages and calculators. It allows for easy human readability and follows the operator precedence rules. For example, the infix notation for the expression "2 + 3" in programming would be "2 + 3".

Sense 3 (Linguistics): In linguistics, infix notation refers to a type of affix that is inserted within a stem or base word. It is different from prefixes (added at the beginning) and suffixes (added at the end). For example, the infix "ab" in the word "un-freakin'-believable" creates the word "unabfreakinbelievable".
