In CoCoA there are 5 main types of operators: algebraic
operators, relational operators, boolean operators, selection
operators, and the range operator.
There is also an n-ary operator
>< for forming
Cartesian products of lists and an operator
::= used in

The meaning of an operator depends on the types of its operands; the
+

A + B represents the sum of polynomials, or of
ideals, or of matrices, etc. according to the type of A and B.
