Prior to the nineteenth century, the Deerness Valley was sparsely populated, with those who lived in the farms and small villages engaged in agriculture. There had been some small scale extraction of coal from the deposits in the valley, but in 1836 the first commercial coal mine opened at Hedleyhope, and by the end of the century, there were at least"}, {"text": "20 mines in operation, served by the railway. Records for 1896 show that there were a total of 6,974 men and boys employed as miners in the valley, with 5,186 working underground and 1,788 working on the surface. In addition to seven types of coal, clay and fireclay were extracted, while at Ushaw Moor and New Brancepeth, deposits of witherite and barites were also exploited. As the mines opened, the population of the valley increased significantly, with workers arriving from Durham, Cumberland, Northumberland and Westmoreland, as well as from other areas of England and Wales. There were also a number of Irish emigrants, fleeing the famines of the 1840s and 1850s. There were no facilities for these workers, and the mine owners built housing, initially of wood, but gradually replaced by brick and stone dwellings. Schools, chapels and shops followed. While villages such as Waterhouses were described in glowing terms at the time, noting the garden plots, Miners Institute, school and Co-operative Store, sanitation was an issue, and there were outbreaks of typhoid and scarlet fever in the 1890s. There was also a long-running strike at Ushaw Moor from 1881 to 1883, with workers being thrown out of their houses"}, {"text": "which were then boarded up. Most of the mines closed in the 1950s and 1960s, with the last one being at Esh Winning, which closed in 1968. The population decreased as miners moved to other areas, and some of the housing has been demolished and returned to green fields and wooded areas. One legacy of such piecemeal development of housing is often the lack of adequate provision of sewers and sewage treatment facilities. In 2013, the first of three major pollution incidents occurred, when sewage overflowed from manholes and found its way into the River Deerness. The incidents were also linked to the death of cattle from Black's Disease, which is caused by an organism often found in sewage. Northumbrian Water sought planning permission to build on online storage facility for sewage and storm water in early 2018, on a site at Alum Waters, to the east of New Brancepeth. The project involved building an underground holding tank with two compartments on the line of an existing sewer.

The river has been used as a source of power in the past, and there are three mills that are known to have been driven by its water. The uppermost was Bricket Tile Works, near Ushaw Moor. It is shown on the Ordnance Survey map of 1861, with a sluice on the river and a clay pit nearby, but by 1895, only the sluice remained. The large weir a little further downstream was built after 1896 and before 1920. The other two mills were near New Brancepeth, and were fed from a weir downstream of the Ushaw Moor to New Brancepeth road.

Between 2012 and 2015, a number of projects were carried out to remove barriers to the migration of fish on the river. Much of the funding came from the Environment Agency's Catchment Restoration Fund. At Cornsay, water levels in a stepped culvert were altered, and several pools were created to make it easier for fish to reach the culvert. There were plans to remove the vertical weir at Broadgate, but a gas main crossing the river a little further upstream would have created a new barrier, and so a bypass channel was built instead. At Ushaw Moor, erosion beneath the bridge had been addressed in 1933 by building four concrete steps, with no consideration of their effect on fish migration. A rock ramp was constructed down the steps, with stones and boulders used to create a more natural route for the fish to negotiate the structure. A number of pipe bridges were also removed or altered. In order to monitor the effectiveness of the measures,"}, {"text": "the movement of key species along the river was monitored by Durham University. In 2016, Durham University carried out a survey of the migration of brown trout within the river for spawning. 16 fish were fitted with radio transmitters, and their locations were tracked by two remote logging stations on the river, and by manual tracking visits, four times a week, using a large hand-held antenna. Although data about the movement of the fish was collected, the study also revealed that predation by herons is a significant factor, as four of the transmitters were found in heron pellets under a single tree, and another three were found further downstream. Among the pellets there were also passive integrated transponder tags, which had been fitted to fish in 2014 for a different study. In 2017, the Environment Agency released stocks of grayling into the river at Ushaw Moor, part of a larger project which saw some 7,500 of the fish released into rivers in the North East. The fish were reared at Calverton in Nottinghamshire, and the costs of the project were met from the sale of fishing licences. Water quality.

The causes for the quality of the Hedleyhope Burn being less than good were not clearly understood in 2019, and needed further investigation.

Early life and travels. According to the \"Acts\", Miles was a native of Susa. Before his conversion to Christianity, he was a Zoroastrian and served in the Sasanian army. He was consecrated bishop of Susa by Bishop Agapetus (Gadyahb) of Beth Lapa\u1e6d (Gondeshapur). Miles traveled widely in the vicinity of Susa before going on a series of Christian pilgrimages. According to Sozomen, \"failing in his efforts to convert the inhabitants [of Susa] to Christianity, he uttered imprecations against the city and departed\". Not long after, continues Sozomen, the city incurred the king's wrath and was destroyed by an army with three hundred war elephants. In his travels abroad, Miles took with him only the Gospels.

Afterwards, he went to Seleucia-Ctesiphon, the capital of the empire. It has been suggested, however, that Miles' travels as recorded in the \"Acts\" are \"the defensive invention of history\" by later dissidents opposed to the increasing authority of the bishops of Seleucia-Ctesiphon who sought to buttress their case by associating their hero, Miles, with some of the most famous people and names in the contemporary church. Meeting in Seleucia-Ctesiphon. Miles was the main opponent of the claims to primacy within the Persian church of Papa bar \u02bfAggai, the bishop of Seleucia-Ctesiphon. Their showdown at a synod in Seleucia-Ctesiphon in 315 is retold, in two contrasting versions, in the \"Acts of Miles\" and the \"Synodicon Orientale\". The account in the \"Synodicon\" is contained in a purported letter read into the record of the synod of Patriarch Dadisho\u02bf (424) by Bishop Agapetus. In this version, Papa was accused by some bishops of \"violence and impurity\" and Miles was sitting judgement on him.

The Western bishops reject Papa's trial because \"only Christ can be the judge of a patriarch\". In the account in the \"Acts of Miles\", Miles arrived in Seleucia-Ctesiphon to find the church in schism. He challenged Papa in a public meeting, bearing a copy of the Gospels to making his point. Papa responded by grabbing the Gospels and challenging them: \"Speak then, Gospel, if you have anything to say.\" Before Papa was struck down (by a bolt of lightning in this account), Miles explained to the crowd that God would punish him for his pride. There is no record in Roman sources of an appeal from a Persian bishop. The letter of the Roman bishops is most likely a fabrication from the reign of the Patriarch Joseph (552\u2013567).

J\u00e9r\u00f4me Labourt suggested, on the basis of the inclusion of Miles' otherwise unknown companions at the end, that it may combine traditions associated with several different martyrs. According to the \"Acts\", after Miles left Seleucia-Ctesiphon he went about performing miracles. He was arrested by Shah Shapur II at the start of the great persecution (340 or 341) and executed at Ray (Beth R\u0101ziq\u0101y\u0113).

In September 1910 the ship was acquired with funds provided by \u014ckuma Shigenobu, the former Japanese prime minister, who registered the vessel in his own name, to act as the expedition vessel for the proposed Japanese Antarctic Expedition.

In the usual formulation of quantum steering, two distant parties, Alice and Bob, are considered, they share an unknown quantum state formula_1 with induced states formula_2 and formula_3 for Alice and Bob respectively. Alice and Bob can both perform local measurements on their own subsystems, for instance, Alice and Bob measure formula_4 and formula_5 and obtain the outcome formula_6 and formula_7. After running the experiment many times, they will obtain measurement statistics formula_8, this is just the symmetric scenario for nonlocal correlation. Quantum steering introduces some asymmetry between two parties, viz., Bob's measurement devices are trusted, he knows what measurement his device carried out, and thus can perform a tomographically"}, {"text": "complete measurement. Meanwhile, Alice's devices are untrusted, she doesn't know what she measures but can still record each choice of measurement and outcome. Bob's goal is to determine if Alice influences his states in a quantum mechanical way or just using some of her prior knowledge of his partial states and some classical means. The classical way for Alice to influence Bob's states is known as the scenario having a local hidden state model which is, in some sense, a generalisation of the local hidden variable model for Bell nonlocality and also a restriction of the separable state model for quantum entanglement. Mathematically, consider Alice having some finite number of measurements formula_9 indexed by formula_4, where for each formula_4, we have that formula_12 is a POVM with outcomes formula_13, or formula_6 in general. The assemblage between Alice and Bob is then a set of unnormalised quantum states on Bob's side indexed by the measurement choices and outcomes of Alice: formula_15, where formula_16 and formula_17, this latter trace denoting a partial trace over Alice's system. An unsteerable assemblage is one that can be described by a so-called local hidden state model: a probability distribution formula_18 over an exogenous variable formula_19, together"}, {"text": "with a set of quantum states formula_20 on Bob's side and a probability distribution formula_21 on Alice's side.

A state is called unsteerable (steerable) if there exists measurements such that an unsteerable (steerable) assemblage can be created from it. Local hidden state model. Let us do some comparison among Bell nonlocality, quantum steering, and quantum entanglement. By definition, a Bell nonlocal which does not admit a local hidden variable model for some measurement setting, a quantum steering state is a state which does not admit a local hidden state model for some measurement assemblage and state assemblage, and quantum entangled state is a state which is not separable.

Background. In April 1979, Tanzanian forces and the Uganda National Liberation Army (UNLA), a coalition of armed rebel groups united under the Uganda National Liberation Front (UNLF), invaded Uganda and deposed the President, Idi Amin. A new UNLF government was installed, but it was weak and exercised little control over the country. This was in part due to the UNLF's and its army's own internal divisions. The several-hundred-strong Kikosi Maalum group was loyal to Milton Obote, who had served as President before Amin took power. Yoweri Museveni controlled the Front for National Salvation, which had about 3,000 members. Over time, power shifted to pro-Obote elements in the government and the army. Obote assumed power in 1980 through a disputed election, and ruled through repressive methods, including the incarceration and killing of dissidents.

The new regime was weak and unstable, and Okello made overtures to anti-Obote rebel groups to form a coalition government and end the fighting. The coup upset many Lango soldiers, which constituted the second-largest ethnic group in the UNLA and were loyal to Obote.

It was described by imperial biographer Suetonius to be a lone (\"uniones\", meaning \"singleton\") large black pearl worth six million sesterces (approximately 1.5 billion dollars in 2019 value), making it perhaps the most valuable gem of all time. It may also be the first known individual pearl recorded in human history. Historical context. Caesar was said to be a great connoisseur of pearls; guessing their value just by weighing them in his palm was one of his party tricks, and during his consulship he had restricted the buying of pearls based on age, marital status and wealth. Unmarried women were not allowed to own them (this resulted in a surge in weddings in Rome) and people who were not affluent enough to acquire them safely without risking their financial security were banned from purchasing them. There are conflicting reports on when exactly Caesar gave Servilia the pearl; some sources claim it happened during his first consulship in 59 BC while others state it was when he returned from the war in Gaul. If it was after the war it is possible that Caesar had acquired the"}, {"text": "pearl as a spoil of war during his campaign in Gaul, or possibly during his invasions of Britain, since the coasts of the island as well as Scottish lakes were prime location for harvesting pearls. Adrian Goldsworthy speculated in his book \"Caesar, Life of a Colossus\" that Caesar may have paid for the pearl with money he had gotten from a bribe from Pompey. Robert B. Kebric reflected that Caesar may have paid with tribute money he received from Pharaoh Ptolemy XII Auletes. Value. Caesar spent 6 million sesterces on the pearl, which is about 1.5 billion American dollars in 2019 currency, although exact calculations of its value is impossible due to the difference in purchasing power, and economist Gilles Jacoud notes that for ridiculously expensive objects the actual value would become arbitrary for someone like Caesar, who could afford anything. He expresses that Roman readers of Suetonius would likely have had a much better understanding for its actual exceptional value. Similarly Mary Saul, an expert of pearls and gastropod shells, states that: \"we do not need to know the equivalent in today's currency to appreciate that he paid an enormous price [for it]\". A contemporary comparison would be that"}, {"text": "900 sesterces was the average yearly salary for an infantryman in one of Caesar's legions, or that it could pay for a year's rent for 3000 Roman tenants. It has also been observed that when Caesar himself was held hostage by pirates as a young man, his ransom of 20 talents (approximately $250,000) was a mere fraction of the worth of the pearl he acquired for his mistress. During the turn of the 19th century it was noted that it is unlikely that any individual pearl of such value would appear again. Analysis. Caesar's motives for giving the pearl to Servilia have been the subject of debate among historians. Historically it has been popularly suggested that the pearl was an apology by Caesar to Servilia after an engagement between her son Brutus and Caesar's daughter Julia fell apart, but since later research has all but confirmed that no such engagement existed (the marriage was likely supposed to be between Julia and a man by the same name) this explanation has been largely abandoned. An alternative related theory put forth by Ramon L. Jim\u00e9nez is that the pearl was indeed gifted to make up for Julia's broken engagement, but not to"}, {"text": "Servilia's son, but to Servilia's brother who did bear the same name as her son at the time. Other interpretations range from that of Friedrich M\u00fcnzer and his followers who believed that the pearl was an earnest marriage proposal by Caesar, that he used it to overshadow the pearls famously displayed by Pompey in his 61 BC triumph, that it was simply a present meant to soothe Servilia after Caesar had agreed to marry the younger Calpurnia, to that of the majority of modern historians who just see it as Caesar feeling he was able to spend any money he wanted on his beloved mistress without any ulterior motives. Robert B. Kebric mused that \"the pearl may only indicate the first opportunity that the previously debtridden Caesar had to give his mistress a gift worthy of his love for her\". Cultural depictions. Servilia and the pearl are the subject of poems by Hafiz and John Dryden.

In Thornton Wilder's 1948 novel \"The Ides of March\" the pearl is given to Servilia in gratitude because Caesar suspects that Brutus is his natural son. Here the pearl is described as \"rose\" in color. In his foreword to the book Wilder also made sure to note that the event of Caesar giving Servilia the extravagant pearl is indeed historical. In the novel \"The Written Script\" by Annalita Marsigli it is portrayed that Caesar gifted Servilia the pearl to make her boast publicly that he had seduced her, which was a move by him to get back at her half-brother Cato. In \"Love is a Pie: Stories and Plays\" the gifting of the pearl causes Caesar's wife Pompeia to be enraged with him. In \"Rubicon: The Last Years of the Roman Republic\" by Tom Holland, Caesar compares buying the outrageously expensive pearl for Servilia to his decision to pay for 3000 Romans rents, both being moves to seduce his fellow citizens, he expresses that he thinks nothing of it.

In \"The Field of Swords\" the pearl is meant as a wedding proposal and Servilia initially rejects it, throwing it back at Caesar, because she believes she is infertile and does not want to make him enter a marriage which has no chance of conceiving children. In the novel \"Cleopatra: Whispers from the Nile\", by Lorraine Blundell, Servilia looks at and thinks of the pearl, reflecting on how it is the most extravagant gift she had ever received by her love.

The result is named after Anton Kotzig, who published it in 1955 in the dual form that every convex polyhedron has two adjacent faces with a total of at most 13 sides.

If all triangular faces of a polyhedron are vertex-disjoint, there exists an edge with smaller total degree, at most eight.

In this inscription Dhanabhuti mentions that his grandfather was named \"King Visvadeva\", and his mother was named \"V\u0101chh\u012b\". Since Dhanabhuti was making a dedication to a Buddhist monument, and since the Sungas are known to have been Hindu monarchs, it seems that Dhanabhuti himself was not a member of the Sunga dynasty.

Alexander Cunningham, the discoverer of Bharhut, was the initial proponent of this view. In his opinion, this explained why the eastern gateway was exclusively inscribed with mason's marks in Kharoshthi, a typical script of the northwest of the subcontinent, by opposition to the local Brahmi script, as Dhanabhuti would have sent some of his artists from the northwest to work on the sculpting of the gateways.

Again, this inscription suggests that Dhanabhuti was probably not a Sunga king, as the Indo-Greeks were likely ruling Mathura at the time the inscription was made: they are thought to have ruled the area of Mathura between 185 BCE-85 BCE, as suggested by literary, numismatic and epigraphical evidence such as the Yavanarajya inscription. The paleography of the Danabhuti Mathura inscription is considered as similar to that of inscriptions in the name of Sodasa, dating to c. 15 CE, such as the Amohini tablet. Compared paleography. The paleography of the Dhanabhuti inscriptions, when inscriptions from Bharhut and Mathura are compared, raises a few issues. The Brahmi script used in Bharhut is of a rounded type rather similar to the shapes of the script used at the time of Ashoka. The Brahmi script used in the Mathura inscription is more angular and typical of the Northern Satraps period in the 1st century CE. In particular, the script of the Mathura inscription is considered as virtually identical with the script used by the Northern Satrap Sodasa in Mathura circa 15 CE. According to Cunningham,"}, {"text": "because of these paleographical differences, the Dhanabhuti of Bharhut and the Dhanabhuti of Mathura were at least separated by 50 years, and the latter may have been the grandson of the former. This remains a stumbling block in securely identifying the Dhanabhutis of Mathura and Bharhut as the same person. According to several authors, the difference is attributable not to a distance in time, but to the geographical distance and the possibly more conservative context of Bharhut, which would have preserved older forms of writing, while Mathura may have adopted new forms earlier. Although the writing style remains traditional, some of the shapes of the Bharhut torana inscription have some modern features, such as the shapes of the letters \"va\", \"ha\", \"pa\", \"ra\", and the long flourish of the \"i\", which suggest a closer temporal proximity with the Mathura inscription. For Sonya Rhie Quintanilla, this implies that Dhanabhuti belonged to the period circa 150 BCE, when he probably made both dedicatory inscriptions in Bharhut and Mathura.

William Henry Puthuff was born in 1768 or 1769 and is believed to be a native of Albemarle County, Virginia. He moved to Ohio at some point and served in the Ohio House of Representatives from 1806 to 1807, representing Washington, Gallia, Muskingum, and Athens counties alongside Levi Barber and Lewis Cass. He was serving as the clerk of the Ohio Supreme Court when, at the outbreak of the War of 1812, he enlisted as a volunteer in General William Hull's army at the age of 43.

Dallas, the acting secretary of war, that a new Indian Agency be opened at Michilimackinac.

Robert McDouall, the British commander in the area, had been holding councils with the Indians on Drummond Island, and Puthuff began organizing meetings of his own to counteract the British influence. Puthuff escalated tensions by twice threatening the arrest of Elizabeth Mitchell, the Ottawa wife of the British garrison's surgeon, once for allegedly trading in liquor without a license, and the second for allegedly stirring up resistance to America among the Ottawa. McDouall wrote that Puthuff \"out Herods Herod\", called the charges \"puerile and absurd\", and accused Puthuff and the Americans of other aggravations against the British; Puthuff denied the accusations in a message to Governor Cass.

Puthuff resumed confiscating furs after a letter from the War Department delegated the president's licensing power to Cass and the Indian agents themselves, this time despite the trappers' protests that they couldn't possibly have known of the new law since they were in the wilderness when it was passed.

Like the Dartmouth BASIC it was based on, SUPER BASIC was a compile and go language, as opposed to an interpreter. In addition to offering most of the commands and functions from Dartmouth BASIC Version 4, in including matrix math commands, SUPER BASIC also included a number of features from the seminal JOSS language developed at Rand Corporation, via Tymshare's version, CAL, and added a variety of new functions, complex numbers as a built-in type, and double precision support.

These were later used in DEC's BASIC-PLUS, which was later used as the basis for the original Microsoft BASIC that saw widespread use in the 1980s. History.

It went through several revisions before becoming truly useful with the Fourth Edition when it was ported to the GE 635 machine and was"}, {"text": "published in 1968. Dartmouth specifically placed the underlying design in the public domain, so that anyone could port it to their platforms and call it BASIC. Its spread was further helped by the tireless efforts of its authors to promote it. However, as the code was designed to run on the DTSS operating system, some porting was required to run it on production systems. This led to a proliferation of versions with minor differences. Tymshare was formed within the University of California, Berkeley, initially renting out time on the University's computers on off-hours. Tymshare's original BASIC, simply Tymshare BASIC, was based on source code \"from elsewhere\" in the University, that Dan Lewis began enhancing. Frank Bracher added the routines for file input/output (I/O), which made it far more practical than the original Dartmouth code that relied purely on statements embedded in the program. Dartmouth's workflow was tape based so loading and saving individual files was not practical and direct I/O was not addressed until later versions. Bracher's I/O code had originally been developed for Tymshare's SUPER FORTRAN offering. One oft-noted feature of the system was the documentation, written by Caroline Diehl. The manuals were written in a conversational style.

Language. Direct and indirect mode. Like most BASIC systems of the era, SUPER BASIC had a single command line editor that worked both as an interactive language and a program editor. Commands that were typed without a line number were executed immediately, which they referred to as \"direct mode\". If the same line was prefixed with a line number, it was instead copied into the program code storage area, known as \"indirect mode\". New lines were added to the program if the line number was unique, replaced existing lines with the same number, or removed from the program if an existing line number was typed in without any code following it. Program statements. Line numbers ran from 0 to 999999. The (or"}, {"text": "short-form ) could be used to delete a range of lines using typical notation, for instance, . The command started an automatic line-number system. It took two optional parameters, a starting line number and a step, separated with .

Although the built-in editor loaded and saved only the lines in the program itself, the user could edit the resulting text file to add additional commands that would run in direct mode. A common example was to edit a program and add on its own line at the end of the file. When loaded, the system would see the and immediately compile and start the program on loading.

For instance, will continue as long as X<Y, while stops when the condition is met. As in Microsoft BASIC, multiple loops could end with a single , although it did not include the feature of later version of MS where the index variable could be left off entirely. Finally, in JOSS fashion, one could replace the typical range specifier with an explicit list of values, .

SUPER BASIC did not require variables to be typed, a variable could hold a number at one point and a string at another, a side-effect of the way they were stored. This required the system to test the variable type at runtime during and for instance, which reduced performance. This could be addressed by explicitly declaring the variable type using a variety of commands. In most dialects of BASIC, variables are created on-the-fly as they are encountered in the code, and generally set to zero (or the empty string) when created. This can lead to problems where variables are supposed to be set up by previous code that is not being properly called, but at run time it can be difficult to know if 0 is an uninitialized"}, {"text": "value or one with the perfectly legal 0 values. SUPER BASIC addressed this with the command. There were two primary forms, which made all undefined variables automatically get the value zero when accessed, which is the normal pattern for BASIC, and which would instead cause a \"VARIABLE HAS NO VALUE\" error to occur when a previously unseen variable was used in a way that attempted to access its value. The later is very useful in debugging scenarios, where the normal behavior can hide the fact that a variable being used in a calculation has not been correctly initialized. Numeric. Unless otherwise specified, variables were stored in a 48-bit single precision floating point format with eleven digits of precision. One could also explicitly define a variable as , which was the single-precision format. This was not a consideration in other BASICs where some sort of suffix, like , indicated the type wherever it was encountered. When required, a double precision format with seventeen digits, stored in three 24-bit words instead of two, could be used by declaring a variable with . An existing single precision value or expression could be converted to double using the function. For instance, one could force"}, {"text": "an expression to evaluate using double precision using . Likewise, one could declare to produce a one-word 24-bit integer value. A more unusual addition was direct support for complex numbers. These were set up in a fashion similar to other variables, using to set aside two single precision slots. When encountered in programs, other statements like would trigger alternative modes that asked for two numbers instead of one, with similar modifications to (used with statements), and others. A single complex number could be created from two singles using the function, while and extracted the real and imaginary parts, respectively, into singles. A small number of additional utility functions were also offered. Operators and functions.

RND(X), returns a random number using a fixed sequence, can be seeded with RND(-1) ABS(N), absolute value SQR(N) or SQRT(N), square root SIN COS TAN ASIN ACOS ATN or ATAN ATN/ATAN with two variables, (y,x) calculates y/x and returns ATN of that SINH COSTH TANH LOG LGT/LOG10 LOG2 EXP EXP2 INT, as in BASIC, always"}, {"text": "truncates downward FIX, similar to INT but simply truncating the decimal ROUND, rounds the value to closest, unlike INT COMP(X,Y) COMPare, combines a subtraction and SGN, so if X>Y=1, X=Y=0, X<y+-1 PDIF(X,Y) Positive DIFference, returns difference (X-Y) if X>Y, 0 otherwise SUPER BASIC included a number of functions from JOSS as well: IP(), Integer Part, equivalent to INT FP(), Fraction Part, same as X-INT(X) MAX(...) returns the maximum value from a list of entries MIN(...) returns the minimum Arrays and matrix math.

One could to make a two-dimensional array, and as a consequence of the way they were stored, all variables otherwise undeclared were actually DIMed to have ten indexes, so one could without previously DIMing B. In contrast with other BASICs, SUPER BASIC allowed one to define the range of one or both of the dimensions, assuming 1 if not defined.

In addition, could be used as an alternate form of , a form that was found on a number of BASIC implementations in that era. SUPER BASIC also added , for \"equivalence\" (equals) and for \"implication\". To this basic set, SUPER BASIC also added three new commands for comparing small differences between numbers, these were , and .

SUPER BASIC also allowed this, which resulted in the somewhat confusing behavior of , which, following operator precedence, assigns 5 to B and then returns true or false if A=B. SUPER BASIC also added true logical variables, declared in a similar fashion as doubles or complex, using , and other variables could be conveyed to logical using . In contrast to logical comparisons and operators, SUPER BASIC also added a number of bitwise logical operators. These applied a basic logical operation to the individual bits in a word. These included , and , for and, or and exclusive or. Additional functions include and for bit-shifting left and right, respectively.
