They probably have many uses, but I remember using them in permutations. That and making recursive code in C++.
Looks like I did make an error. It should have been:
? x (?-1) x (?-2) x (?-3)...[(?+1)-?] = ?!, assuming x is greater than or equal to 5.
It was just a bit of a joke I went waaaay too far out there to make and analyzing it this much makes it even less funny, LOL. Ah well. Live and learn.

so... would ! and ? be variables? or are they random symbols standing for numbers, like pi? o.o
if they're variables, i get it... if not, im lost x.x
