⎕IC - Indeterminate Control

Z←⎕IC returns the current value of the Indeterminate Control Vector.
Z is an integer vector whose elements each control a separate aspect of how indeterminates are handled by the system.


⎕IC←R sets all of the values of the Indeterminate Control Vector to R.
⎕IC←⍬ sets all of the values of the Indeterminate Control Vector to their system default state.
⎕IC[L]←R sets the value(s) of the Indeterminate Control Vector indexed by L to R.


This experimental feature attempts to collect together in one place control of various infinite and indeterminate calculations such as ÷0, 0÷0, and friends. The values of this multi-element vector each control a different calculation. In particular,

⎕IC Index
(origin-0)		 Indeterminate
or Infinite Calculation		 Default
Result
0 ÷0 or L÷0 for L≠0 ∞
1 ⍟0 ¯∞
2 !R for integer R<0 DOMAIN ERROR
3 0×∞ or ∞×0 DOMAIN ERROR
4 0ׯ∞ or ¯∞×0 DOMAIN ERROR
5 0÷0 1
6 ∞÷∞ (same sign) DOMAIN ERROR
7 ∞÷∞ (different sign) DOMAIN ERROR
8 ∞-∞ (same sign) DOMAIN ERROR
9 L|∞ for L>0 DOMAIN ERROR
10 L|¯∞ for L>0 DOMAIN ERROR
11 L|∞ for L<0 DOMAIN ERROR
12 L|¯∞ for L<0 DOMAIN ERROR
13 ¯∞|R for R>0 ¯∞
14 ∞|R for R<0 ∞
15 0*0 1
16 L*∞ for L≤¯1 DOMAIN ERROR
17 0*∞ 0
18 0*¯∞ ∞
19 ±∞*0 DOMAIN ERROR
20 L*R for L<0 and non-integer R DOMAIN ERROR
21 0⍟0 1
22 0⍟1 DOMAIN ERROR
23 1⍟0 DOMAIN ERROR
24 1⍟1 1
25 0∨±∞ or ±∞∨0 LEFT
26 0∧±∞ or ±∞∧0 DOMAIN ERROR
27 0⍟R for R≠0 1 DOMAIN ERROR
28 L*¯∞ for ¯1 ≤ L < 0 DOMAIN ERROR

The values in each element of ⎕IC control the result of the calculation as follows:

⎕IC Value Result
¯1 ¯1
0 0
1 1
2 DOMAIN ERROR
3 ∞
4 ¯∞
5 LEFT
6 RIGHT

For example,

      ⎕IO←0
      ⎕IC
3 4 3 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 4 3 1 2 0 3 2 2 1 2 2 1 5 2 2 2
      0÷0
1
      ⎕IC[5]←2
      ⎕IC
3 4 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 4 3 1 2 0 3 2 2 1 2 2 1 5 2 2 2
      0÷0
DOMAIN ERROR
      0÷0
       ∧
      ⎕IC←⍬
      ⎕IC
3 4 3 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 4 3 1 2 0 3 2 2 1 2 2 1 5 2 2 2

To set all indeterminate results to DOMAIN ERROR, use ⎕IC[]←2.
