K&R are Kernigan and Ritchie, the origional authors of the C programming
language. Take one look at the syntax of AFL, you can see it's similarity
to C.

My reference is the Free OnLine Dictionary Of Computing:
http://wombat.doc.ic.ac.uk/foldoc/foldoc.cgi?query=hungarian&action=Search
Which says:
Hungarian Notation
<language, convention> A linguistic convention requiring one or more
letters to be added to the start of variable names to denote scope
and/or type.
I'm not sure what Polish notation is, but Reverse Polish notation is (from the
same source):
postfix notation
<language> (Or "Reverse Polish Notation", RPN) One of the possible
orderings of functions and operands: in postfix notation the functions
are preceded by all their operands. For example, what may normally be
written as "1+2" becomes "1 2 +". Postfix notation is well suited for
stack based architectures but modern compilers reduced this advantage
considerably.
The best-known language with postfix syntax is FORTH. Some Hewlett-Packard
calculators use it, e.g. HP-25, HP-29C, HP-41C, HP-23SII.
Unless of course it's the opposite of RPN, in which case
prefix notation
<language> (Or "prefix syntax") One of the possible orderings of functions
and operands: in prefix notation the function precedes all its operands.
For example, what may normally be written as "1+2" becomes "(+ 1 2)". A
few languages (e.g., lisp) have strictly prefix syntax, many more employ
prefix notation in combination with infix notation.
I've even programmed (slightly) in both FORTH and lisp.
And yes I *HAVE* been accused of being a PIA SOB who always has to be right!
:-) (and they're probably right!)
