Indexing
From NARS2000
|

L is a nested array of integer scalars and/or vectors, suitable for indexing R. | ||||
R is an arbitrary array. | ||||
A is an arbitrary array. | ||||
If L⊃R is valid, it is equivalent to ⊃R[⊂L], and if L⌷R is valid, it is equivalent to R[⊃∘.,/L] — Reach and Scatter indexing may appear together within a single instance of R[L], R[L]←A, and R[L]f←A |
For example, in origin-1
- Index reference, assignment, modify assignment, squad, and pick (R[L], R[L]←A, R[L]f←A, L⌷R, and L⊃R) are each extended to negative index values. That is, if the largest allowed index value is N, then the previous allowable range of values was ⎕IO to N, inclusive. Now, the allowable range of values is 1 ¯1[1]-N to N, inclusive. For example, A, A[⍳⍴A], and A[⍳-⍴A] are all identical for any array A in either origin.
