I had a bit of a chuckle that apparently 5 out of 50000 opening "(" parentheses weren't closed, but then I saw that 2 out of 12000 "]" brackets weren't opened!

I had a bit of a chuckle that apparently 5 out of 50000 opening "(" parentheses weren't closed, but then I saw that 2 out of 12000 "]" brackets weren't opened! What criminal is using these standalone?
- rphln 1y agoMixing them should be relatively common when denoting intervals, as in "(a, b]" or "[a, b)", so that'd be one cause for being unbalanced. But even so, the math on their usage still doesn't add up.
- gfaure 1y agoThere is the normal notation for half-open ranges, which would lead to unbalanced brackets.
- smcin 1y agoAh. Good point.
- orlp 1y agoYou won't like bra-ket notation then :)
- xelxebar 1y agoProbably not this, but J uses lonely brackets and braces as standalone operators: https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/NuVoc https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/NuVoc.
- devrandoom 1y agoI hope you irony of your comment isn't lost.
- ivansavz 1y agoHahahah... Yes, contributing to the frequency tables. At least we're not including the symbols in question in our comments, so as not add to the imbalance!
- jxjnskkzxxhx 1y agoI mean.... You just used those standalone.
