→ — Branch to a line in a function — Keystroke ALT+] — Character 8594 or 0x2192
Alternate Names
This symbol is also known as right arrow or APL text symbol {rightarrow}.
Usage
The goto symbol may be used as a conditional branch (branch based on a comparison) or an unconditional branch, or it may be used to exit a function. It is most often used in a function to transfer control, but can be used from the session manager to transfer to a line in a suspended function.
Conditional branch
The value to the right of the arrow is a boolean expression surrounded by parentheses, followed by the line number to transfer to if the expression is true.
Unconditional branch
The goto symbol is followed on the right either by the line number or a label. Execution continues in the function at that line (unless the line specified is 0, in which case the function exits.)
Exit Function
The goto symbol may be used to exit a function and return to the calling function (or return to the session manager if the function was called by the user typing its name) by using 0 as the line number to goto.
Examples
Exit Function
In the following example, function one calls function two, which exits part way through the function, returning to function 1.
- ∆one
[0] one
[1] 'This is one'
[2] two
[3] 'return to one from two'
- ∆
- ∆two
[0] two
[1] 'This is two'
[2] →0
[3] 'Two Continues'
- ∆
- one
This is one
This is two
return to one from two
