A line of ELI executes from right to left as a chain of operations; anything to the right of ‘//’ is a comment.
Exclamation point (!) is an '''interval''' function. It can generate a vector of n integer from 1 to n.▼

The execution order of ELI is from right to left and all primitive functions have '''equal precedence'''.▼

In next example a function <code>add</code> is declared in a short function form. Then, the arguments of the function can take either a scalar or a vector.

▲The <code>x</code> is assigned with a vector from 1 to 20. <code>1 = 2|x</code> returns odd number <code>True</code> and even number <code>False</code>. The <code>/</code> is a primitive function for compression which '''picks up''' the value in <code>x</code> corresponding to the <code>True</code> values in its left argument.
