ActionScript heritage[]
ActionScript is not "Java based". It is a dialect of ECMAscript, colloquially but incorrectly called "JavaScript". Real JavaScript is another dialect of ECMAscript. ECMAscript is not related to Java at all, neither syntactically nor by use or implementation. rursus 15:08, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
Meaning?[]
What is the meaning of this article? Mathematical functions are the same for all programming languages, but their meaning and general usage is of primary interest. Calling them, might need some other kinds of texts, not just listing them, but instead how headings/inclusions and similar needs to be prepared before calling the functions. There is not much meaning with listing them for all programming languages and add a short description that is repeated for the next programming language once again.
- I perceive the meaning of this article to be a fast overview of the mathematical functions, fit for coding. It is a lookup article that ideally should make it easy to peruse the mathematical functions of any programming language, such as the inclusions and declarations necessary in the code file to reach the functions. The purpose of the article could also be to describe the functions themselves. For specifics about the functions available in different programming languages, specialized articles for each language would be needed. And no: not all programming languages contain the same functions, I believe fgamma (a floating point precision factorial function in C) is not available in all languages. rursus 10:00, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
