Universal Character Set - ⎕UCS (System Function) - available in monadic form only,
but with TWO different types of argument calls:
Monadic Function
|
||||
| R is 1) a character scalar or character String OR 2) scalar integer or set of Integers to enumerate. | ||||
| Z is a scalar or vector of results(integer or string, inverse of call. |
Examples, working with ⎕UCS:
⎕UCS 'ABC' ⍝Type 1(CHAR string) - Locate index positions for letters A, B and C in the Universal Character Set.
65 66 67 ⍝Letters A, B and C FOUND at index positions 65, 66 and 67 in ⎕UCS.
⍴⎕UCS 'ABC' ⍝Determine the shape of the result of the call to UCS.
3
⎕AV⍳'ABC' ⍝Comparable call to ⎕AV using Iota, but the same letters('ABC').
66 67 68 ⍝>> 66 67 68 << using ⎕AV versus >> 65 66 67 << using ⎕UCS - similar, but NOT identical results.
⎕UCS 65 66 67 68 69 ⍝Type 2(INTEGERS vector) - Find characters associated with integer positions in Universal Character Set.
ABCDE ⍝Letters A, B, C, D and E 'ABCDE' returned, as a string.
⍴⎕UCS 65 66 67 68 69 ⍝Determine the shape of the result.
5
⎕UCS "012345⍴⍳6789" ⍝Another character string - with digits, rho(⍴) and iota(⍳) - also enumerated.
48 49 50 51 52 53 9076 9075 54 55 56 57 ⍝Note how Rho and Iota are much higher in the UCS than letters and digit-characters.
