Computing	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. (1997-01-17).

Specialty Definition: Infix notation

Infix notation is the arithmetic formula notation known to most people, in which operators are written between the operands they act on. It is not as simple to parse by computer as postfix notation, but many programming languages use it to take advantage of its familiarity.

In infix notation, unlike in postfix or prefix notations, parentheses surrounding groups of operands and operators are necessary to indicate the intended order in which operations are to be performed. In the absence of parentheses, certain precedence rules determine the order of operations. These are explained in the order of operations article.
