In the following descriptions, <apll>f</apll> and <apll>g</apll> represent functions and <apll>a</apll> and <apll>b</apll> represent variables.

  • The form <apll>fg</apll> may be used both monadically and dyadically.
Monadic: <apll>Z←fgR</apll> is identical to <apll>Z←fgR</apll>.
Dyadic: <apll>Z←LfgR</apll> is identical to <apll>Z←LfgR</apll>.
  • The form <apll>f∘b</apll> may be used monadically only.
Monadic: <apll>Z←(fb) R</apll> is identical to <apll>Z←R f b</apll>.
Note that parentheses are required around the function to avoid interpreting <apll>b R</apll> as a strand.
  • The form <apll>ag</apll> may be used monadically only.
Monadic: <apll>Z←agR</apll> is identical to <apll>Z←a g R</apll>.
  • The derived function from the form <apll>ab</apll> always signals a <apll>SYNTAX ERROR</apll>.
