Similar (but opposite ?!) to [Reverse Polish Notation|RPN], in that operators act on the next two expressions (for binary operators). Eg 5 + (6 * 7) is expressed in prefix notation as + 5 * 6 7 However, as RPN uses a "stack" of intermediate values it is easier to implement as when you parse an operator you already have your operands available. [LISP] is probably the best known language to use prefix notation.
