Quad FX - FIX or Function eXecute - ⎕FX     System Function

Monadic Function

No Execution Properties (no special properties in the output function established/fixed)

Z←⎕FX R
R is either a character matrix OR a vector of strings for a function's representation in character matrix or string form.
Z returned will be the function name OR the line number of the function which failed to be established in the workspace.


Quad FX FIX sample monadic use/user session(with comments at right): 

      )FNS              ⍝ In a CLEAR NARS APL workspace there are NOT YET any functions
      ⎕NL 3            ⍝ Similarly, Quad Name List will show NO user functions
      ⍴⎕NL 3
0 0
      X←'Z←Total vecNums' 'Z←+/vecNums' '"The Total is: ",Z'  ⍝Var X is assigned 3 vectorized strings for a NEW funct.
      X          ⍝ X has 3 elements, 1) function header, 2) APL code statement #1, 3) APL code statement #2
 Z←Total vecNums Z←+/vecNums "The Total is: ",Z 
      ⎕FX X           ⍝ Here variable X is attempted to be Function eXecuted or FIXed into a NEW function
Total                 ⍝ ⎕FX or FIX attempt SUCCEEDED and APL returns the Function NAME(Total)
      Total ⍳5         ⍝ The first "use" of function Total attempts to Total 5 numbers(iota 5), 1+2+3+4+5
The Total is:  15
15
      )FNS            ⍝ Now a list of functions in the workspace shows function 'Total' exists
Total 
      ⎕VR 'Total'    ⍝ Request function Total's Virtual Representation (1 header row plus 2 APL statement rows)
    ∇ Z←Total vecNums
[1]   Z←+/vecNums
[2]   "The Total is: ",Z
    ∇ 2015 2 15 4 38 9 863 (UTC)

When is ⎕FX useful?

  • You are using a different function editor than the one supplied with NARS and need to re-establish or fix the function into the workspace.
  • You have read in an APL function into APL from a different APL software package OR outside source, and need to make the function read-in active in the current workspace.
  • Your program has automatically created a function in string form, on the fly, and you need to make it active.
  • You have external libraries of APL functions and only want to use them as needed, thus you read in the file and FIX the functions, then use them.

Dyadic Function

WITH Execution Properties

Z←L ⎕FX R Right argument R is the same as the monadic call Left argument L is a boolean vector with 1=turn ON property, 0=turn OFF property Not yet fully documented, awaiting full documentation.

Sample Output Function Properties(to potentially or hypothetically switch on/off):
Function:

  • Can/Cannot be displayed - viewed
  • Can/Cannot be suspended - halted
  • Does/does Not ignore attention signal(e.g. Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Break)
  • Converts ANY nonresource error to DOMAIN ERROR
  • Can/Cannot be modified/locked

Quad FX sample dyadic usage: not yet documented.


Note: ⎕FX is available as both a monadic and dyadic form system function, you cannot assign a value to it.

System Variables (A value may be assigned to these except for ⎕DM)

⎕LR ⎕LX ⎕PP ⎕PR ⎕PW ⎕RL ⎕SA ⎕WSID

⎕T ⎕TC ⎕TCBEL ⎕TCBS ⎕TCESC ⎕TCFF ⎕TCHT ⎕TCLF ⎕TCNL ⎕TCNUL
⎕TS ⎕WA
Monadic or dyadic system functions (a value cannot be assigned to these)

⎕EX ⎕FMT ⎕FX ⎕MF ⎕NAPPEND ⎕NC ⎕NCREATE ⎕NERASE ⎕NINFO ⎕NL
⎕NLOCK ⎕NREAD ⎕NRENAME ⎕NREPLACE ⎕NRESIZE ⎕NSIZE ⎕NTIE ⎕NUNTIE ⎕STOP ⎕TF
⎕TRACE ⎕UCS ⎕VR
Note that quad functions and variables (except for the ⎕A family of functions) are case insensitive
