Quad Name List - ⎕NL     (System Function)

Monadic Function

Z←⎕NL R returns a character matrix of user function names and or variable names where R = 3 (function names) and or 2 (variable names).
R is either 2 (variable names) or 3 (function names) or 2 3 (both function and variable names).
Z is a character matrix of user objects in the workspace, each row being a name in the workspace.


Quad Names List sample monadic calls:

      ⎕NL 3     ⍝ list function names in the active workspace
      ⎕NL 2     ⍝ list variable names in the active workspace
      ⎕NL 3 2   ⍝ list function AND variable names in the active workspace
      ⍴⎕NL 3    ⍝ The shape of names list - 1st element returned(# rows) shows the "user Function Count" in the active workspace

NARS has added additional features over and beyond APL's standard ⎕NL. Magic Functions are primarily for advanced APL programmers and or NARS developers. To see all magic functions available in NARS use the following:

Most magic functions are transparent to you the APL user since they implement APL symbol functionality.


Dyadic Function

Z←L ⎕NL R returns a character matrix of user function names and or variable names where R = 3 (function names) and or 2 (variable names)..
R is either 2 (var names) or 3 (fns names) or 2 3 (both fns and vars).
L is a letter or letters for LIMITING fns/var names list, i.e. which BEGIN with the letter(s) to show.


Quad Names List sample dyadic calls:

      "A" ⎕NL 3     ⍝ List all function names beginning with A.
      "M" ⎕NL 2     ⍝ List all variable names beginning with M.
      "AC" ⎕NL 3 2  ⍝ List all function AND variable names beginning with letter "A" and also letter "C".

Function ⎕NL may be used inside user functions whereas system commands )FNS and )VARS cannot be used inside a user function.

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