At the moment, the following sections describe only those language features that are New or Enhanced relative to the Extended APL Standard, or that deserve special comment.
Syntax
- Strand Assignment: (A1 A2 ... An)←R
- Modify Assignment: Af←R
- Modify Strand Assignment: (A1 A2 ... An)f←R
- Function/Operator Assignment: A←f, A←op1, A←op2
- Sink: ←R
- Point Notation: Base — e.g., 16b10FFFF as a shorthand for 16⊥1 0 15 15 15 15; Pi: — e.g., 2p3 as a shorthand for 2π3 or 2×(○1)*3; Euler: e.g., 2x3 as a shorthand for 2e3 or 2×(*1)*3.
Primitive functions
- Index Generator: ⍳R
- Index Of: L⍳R
- Indexing: R[L], R[L]←A, R[L]f←A, L⌷R, L⊃R
