      Definition - Integer p is incremented if and only if each following statement is true:

      W is the set of whole numbers.

      M is the set of non-positive numbers.

      If p is in W, and q is next in order from p, inW, then p becomes q.

      If q is a negative number in M, and p is next in order from q, in M, then p becomes q.

      Definition - Integer p is decremented if and only if each following statement is true:

      W is the set of whole numbers.

      M is the set of non-positive numbers.

      If q is a positive number in W, and p is next in order from q, inW, then p becomes q.

      If p is an integer in M, and q is next in order from p, in M, then p becomes q.

-----------------------------------------------

      Definition - Integer p is changed by integer q if and only if the integer sum of p and q is the integer which p becomes now.

      Definition - Positive number C is the product of positive number A and positive number B if and only if C is q when the following is done:

      AA. k is 0.

      BB. q is 0.

      CC. The whole number in W next in order from k is the number that k becomes now.

      DD. The sum of q and B is the number that q becomes now.

      EE. If k is A then q is the product of A and B, and this procedure is done.

      FF. Go to CC.
