4: it uses "pacman" < and "reverse pacman" > along with "hashtag" # "money" $ "star" * "squiggly A" @ and a buttload of "dots" . and "double dots" : just to list a few

Symbolism Syntax:

• * star ... actual name is "asterisk". We use a lot for math as the multiplication symbol.
  
• # hashtag ... has been referred to as the pound symbol (as in weight measurement).
  
• $ money ... er, just the dollar symbol here. We use to define a special 'global' variable.
  
• @ squiggly 'a' ... officially called the 'commercial' symbol, usually recognized as the 'at' symbol. We use to make 'instance' variables'*
  
• & thingie (not listed) ... we think of as the 'and' symbol is called an ampersand. Good for doing if... tests. 'if this & that.'
  

* For scripters, instance variables are better to use than globals. They use less resources, and forces better coding.
