MathSymbols

Under Construction

This documentation is auto-generated, and is a work in progress. Please see the source code at https://github.com/phetsims/scenery-phet/blob/main/js/MathSymbols.ts for the most up-to-date information.

Overview

Standard math symbols used in PhET sims. Sims should use these so that they are easy to change in the future. Do NOT inline characters in string concatenations.

E.g. for an expression that involves the multiplication of 2 values: Good: var expressionString = value1 + ' ' + MathSymbols.TIMES + ' ' + value2; Bad: var expressionString = value1 + ' \u00d7 ' + value2; Wrong: var expressionString = value1 + ' x ' + value2;

Note: These are all 'as const' to support strong typing. See NUMBER_SUITE_COMMON/SymbolType for an example.
