That is, a statement such as ( i. e. the assignment of the result of an expression to a variable ) clearly calls for the expression to be evaluated and the result placed in, but what actually is in is irrelevant until there is a need for its value via a reference to in some later expression whose evaluation could itself be deferred, though eventually the rapidly growing tree of dependencies would be pruned to produce some symbol rather than another for the outside world to see.

Remarkably this expression denotes the same operation independently of whether the symbol + is interpreted as inclusive or or exclusive or.

where n is a natural number, the coefficients are elements of R, and X is a formal symbol, whose powers X < sup > i </ sup > are just placeholders for the corresponding coefficients a < sub > i </ sub >, so that the given formal expression is just a way to encode the sequence, where there is an n such that a < sub > i </ sub > = 0 for all i > n. Two polynomials sharing the same value of n are considered equal if and only if the sequences of their coefficients are equal ; furthermore any polynomial is equal to any polynomial with greater value of n obtained from it by adding terms in front whose coefficient is zero.
