👉 Subscripting is a mathematical operation in which an element or variable's value is assigned to another symbol within a larger expression. It is often used when dealing with variables, constants, and expressions that contain multiple occurrences of a single variable or expression. The operator for subscripting can be different depending on the context: in mathematics, it's typically represented by the caret (^), while in programming, it's denoted by the symbol "subscript" or "%".
