suffix notation

n : a parenthesis-free notation for forming mathematical

expressions in which each operator follows its operands

[syn: {postfix notation}, {reverse Polish notation}]

infix notation

One of the possible orderings of {functions} and

{operands}: in infix notation the functions are placed between

their operands, such as "1:2". Although infix notation is

limited to binary functions most languages mix infix notation

with {prefix} or {postfix} notation, as a form of {syntactic

sugar}.
