Operators are used in expressions, and are applied to their operands to calculate numeric values. The data format for Binary operations is prefix-based.
Binary operators may be applied to a list of two or more operands. They are first applied to the first two operands, then applied to this result and the next operand in the list. For example, (2 * (4 * 6)) can be represented as the kOperatorMultiply operator with a list of three kOperandConstant operands, containing the values 4, 6, and 2 in that order.
Unary operators are applied to a single operand.
