Directional Codes

Understanding the symbols:

  • $X ^ Y$: Y is South of X
  • $X % Y$: Y is North-East of X
  • $X @ Y$: Y is East of X

Expression: $Z % U ^ V @ T$

Decoding the relationships:

  • $Z % U$ $\Rightarrow$ U is North-East of Z
  • $U ^ V$ $\Rightarrow$ V is South of U
  • $V @ T$ $\Rightarrow$ T is East of V

Deriving U's Direction Relative to T

Visualize the relative positions:

  1. V is located South of U.
  2. T is located East of V.
  3. From T's location, V is West, and U is North of V. This implies U is North-West of T.
