Rho may be used as a [[monadic]] or [[dyadic]] operator, depending on the functionality desired. Used monadically with the argument to the right returns the '''shape''' of the argument. Used dyadically, the argument on the left is used to '''reshape''' the argument on the right.

Rho may be used as a monadic or dyadic operator, depending on the functionality desired. Used monadically with the argument to the right returns the shape of the argument. Used dyadically, the argument on the left is used to reshape the argument on the right.

Shape

The symbol ⍴ used monadically with no left argument returns the shape of the argument to the right, i.e. the size or dimensions of a scalar, string, vector, array or matrix.


Reshape

Z←L⍴R returns an array of shape L whose items are taken from R in row major order, repeated as necessary.
L is a scalar or vector of non-negative integers, and R is an arbitrary array.
If the right argument is empty, the result consists of ×/⍴L copies of the fill item of R.


For example, in origin-1

      2 3⍴⍳6
 1 2 3
 4 5 6
      2 3⍴⍳0
 0 0 0
 0 0 0

The idea for the latter enhancement was taken from Dyalog APL.
