− | :Might be pseudocode. But I imagine there are a number of possible 'real' codings it could be.

− | :Ignore case restraints, it being xkcd all-uppercase (whether Caps or SmallCaps). Much of the statement is typical of most languages with 'normal' mathematical operands (rule out LISP and Forth, for Polish/Reverse Polish notation). There are many computer languages that assign values with "=" (as opposed to ":=", e.g. those in the Pascal family), so only partly helps. Though it looks a bit like a function-definition such as found in BASIC (should have DEFFN keyword, in the version I used), perhaps it's assigning the calculation to array-item 'R' in a language that uses ()s for array-indexing. Or it ''could'' even be a Fortran-dialect masked array on the LHS of the assignment.
