A1 in Javascript pseudocode would be: function A1(x, y) {return x*y + x; } But A2 would be: function A2(y, x) {return y*x + y; } If you do not like the default order of implicit parameters, you can always use Grace~ operator to move x or y. Prefix form moves the parameter one position towards the beginning of the parameters list, postfix form moves one position towards the end of the parameters list: A1 = y~ * x + y or A1 = y * ~x + y or [Edit] A1 = y * x + y~ In the last example take into consideration, that without Grace~ operator y is the first parameter, so, you need to move it one position towards the end of the parameters list - therefore use postfix form of Grace~ operator.
