+## Delta
+
+`delta(value:number)`
+
+Creates a discrete distribution with all of its probability mass at point `value`.
+
+Numbers are often cast into delta distributions automatically. For example, in the function, 
+`mixture(1,2,normal(5,2))`, the first two arguments will get converted into delta distributions 
+with values at 1 and 2. Therefore, `mixture(1,2,normal(5,2))` is the same as `mixture(delta(1), delta(2),normal(5,2))`
