Monadic Derived Function
|
||||
| R is an arbitrary array, f is an arbitrary monadic function, X is an origin-sensitive integer scalar or vector, and Y is an integer scalar or vector. | ||||
| If 1<⍴⍴Y, signal a RANK ERROR. | ||||
| If 1=⍴⍴Y and ~(⍴Y)∊1 2 3, signal a LENGTH ERROR. | ||||
| Y is a scalar or one-, two-, or three-element integer vector that describes the cell size of the arguments. When it is a three-element vector, the first element specifies the cell size of the right argument when the derived function is called monadically; the second and third elements specify the left and right argument cell sizes when the derived function is called dyadically. When it is a two-element vector, the two values are used for the left and right arguments cell sizes when the derived function is called dyadically; if the derived function is called monadically, the cell size is the second value of the two. When it is a scalar or one-element vector, the single value is used for all three cell sizes. Moreover, the value of Y for the monadic derived function case may be positive or negative with an absolute value no larger than ⍴⍴R. In this case (first element only), the above rules may be summarized by setting Y to the one-element integer vector (-⍴⍴R)⌈(⍴⍴R)⌊1↑⌽3⍴⌽Y. | ||||
| The cells from R are of rank |Y. | ||||
| If Y is positive, the cells from R are taken from the right end of the shape vector; if negative, the cells are taken from the left end of the shape vector. In particular, CR←(-Y)↑⍴R is the shape of the righthand cells, and FR←(-Y)↓⍴R is the shape of the righthand frame. | ||||
| Loop through the frame applying f to the shape CR cells from R. | ||||
| The result Z is the conforming disclose of the above (see below). |
The monadic derived function of this dyadic operator is partially implemented by calling the following internal magic function:
∇ Z←(LO #MonRank Y) R;YR
[1] YR←(1↑⌽3⍴⌽Y)⌊⍴⍴R
[2] if 0>YR ⋄ YR←0⌈YR+⍴⍴R ⋄ :end
[3] Z←LO¨⊂[(-YR)↑⍳⍴⍴R] R ⋄ →0
[4] ⎕PRO:YR←(1↑⌽3⍴⌽Y)⌊⍴⍴R
[5] :if 0>YR ⋄ YR←0⌈YR+⍴⍴R ⋄ :end
[6] Z←⊃LO¨¨⊂[(-YR)↑⍳⍴⍴R]¨0⍴⊂R

See the discussion below for details on the final processing of the result of this magic function.
Dyadic Derived Function
|
||||
| L and R are arbitrary arrays, f is an arbitrary dyadic function, X is an origin-sensitive integer scalar or vector, and Y is an integer scalar or vector. | ||||
| If 1<⍴⍴Y, signal a RANK ERROR. | ||||
| If 1=⍴⍴Y and ~(⍴Y)∊1 2 3, signal a LENGTH ERROR. | ||||
| Y is a scalar or one-, two-, or three-element integer vector that describes the cell size of the arguments. When it is a three-element vector, the first element specifies the cell size of the right argument when the derived function is called monadically; the second and third elements specify the left and right argument cell sizes when the derived function is called dyadically. When it is a two-element vector, the two values are used for the left and right arguments cell sizes when the derived function is called dyadically; if the derived function is called monadically, the cell size is the second value of the two. When it is a scalar or one-element vector, the single value is used for all three cell sizes. Moreover, the values of Y for the dyadic derived function case may be positive or negative with an absolute value no larger than (⍴⍴L),⍴⍴R. In this case (second and third elements only), the above rules may be summarized by setting Y to the two-element integer vector (-(⍴⍴L),⍴⍴R)⌈((⍴⍴L),⍴⍴R)⌊1↓⌽3⍴⌽Y. | ||||
| The cells from L are of rank |1↑Y; the cells from R are of rank |1↓Y. | ||||
| If 1↑Y is positive, the cells from L are taken from the right end of the shape vector; if negative, the cells are taken from the left end of the shape vector. In particular, CL←(-1↑Y)↑⍴L is the shape of the lefthand cells, and FL←(-1↑Y)↓⍴L is the shape of the lefthand frame. | ||||
| If 1↓Y is positive, the cells from R are taken from the right end of the shape vector; if negative, the cells are taken from the left end of the shape vector. In particular, CR←(-1↓Y)↑⍴R is the shape of the righthand cells, and FR←(-1↓Y)↓⍴R is the shape of the righthand frame. | ||||
| If FL and FR are both non-empty and (⍴FL)≠⍴FR, signal a RANK ERROR; if the shapes of FL and FR are the same, but their values differ, signal a LENGTH ERROR. | ||||
| Loop through the frames (scalar extending as necessary) applying f between the shape CL cells from L and the shape CR cells from R. | ||||
| The result Z is the conforming disclose of the above (see below). |
The dyadic derived function of this dyadic operator is partially implemented by calling the following internal magic function:
∇ Z←L (LO #DydRank Y) R;YL;YR
[1] (YL YR)←(1↓⌽3⍴⌽Y)⌊(⍴⍴L),⍴⍴R
[2] :if 0>YL ⋄ YL←0⌈YL+⍴⍴L ⋄ :end
[3] :if 0>YR ⋄ YR←0⌈YR+⍴⍴R ⋄ :end
[4] Z←(⊂[(-YL)↑⍳⍴⍴L] L) LO¨⊂[(-YR)↑⍳⍴⍴R] R ⋄ →0
[5] ⎕PRO:(YL YR)←(1↓⌽3⍴⌽Y)⌊(⍴⍴L),⍴⍴R
[6] :if 0>YL ⋄ YL←0⌈YL+⍴⍴L ⋄ :end
[7] :if 0>YR ⋄ YR←0⌈YR+⍴⍴R ⋄ :end
[8] Z←⊃(⊂[(-YL)↑⍳⍴⍴L]¨0⍴⊂L) LO¨¨⊂[(-YR)↑⍳⍴⍴R]¨0⍴⊂R

If the axis operator [X] is present on the rank operator, it is used in the final stage to disclose with axis (⊃[X]) the #Conform result to produce the final result Z. If the axis operator is not present, the final result Z is the disclose without axis (⊃) of the #Conform result.
For example, the rank operator can emulate laminate between the following two vectors to produce the first result, but not the second without help from the axis operator:
L←'abcdef' ⋄ R←⍳⍴L
L ,⍤0 R a.k.a. L,[1.5] R
a 1
b 2
c 3
d 4
e 5
f 6
L ,⍤[1] 0 R a.k.a. L,[0.5] R
a b c d e f
1 2 3 4 5 6
