  prefix notation
       
           (Or "prefix syntax") One of the possible orderings
          of functions and operands: in prefix notation the function
          precedes all its operands.  For example, what may normally be
          written as "1+2" becomes "(+ 1 2)".  A few languages (e.g.,
          lisp) have strictly prefix syntax, many more employ prefix
          notation in combination with infix notation.
       
          Compare: postfix notation.
