This function is available in both monadic and dyadic forms.

Monadic Function

Z←⎕DC R converts R between the coefficients of a Hypercomplex number and the corresponding Hypercomplex number.
R is a numeric array.
  • For simple numeric (a.k.a. Hypercomplex 1-dimensional — BOOL, INT, APA, FLOAT, RAT, or VFP) R, where the number of columns of R (call that NC) is 1, 2, 4, or 8, Z is the corresponding Hypercomplex array whose Hypercomplex dimension is the same as the number of columns of R, and whose shape is ¯1↓⍴R. That is, the values in the last coordinate of R are treated as the coefficients of a Hypercomplex number and Z is the corresponding Hypercomplex number. This capability has been replaced by the Condense function (<R).
  • For Hypercomplex 2-, 4-, or 8-dimensional R, Z is the corresponding simple array (INT, FLOAT, RAT, or VFP) with a new coordinate on the right consisting of the coefficients of the Hypercomplex numbers in R, and whose shape is (⍴R),NC. That is, Z contains the coefficients of the Hypercomplex number R. This capability has been replaced by the Dilate function (>R).

Dyadic Function

Z←L ⎕DC R converts the coefficients of R to the datatype indicated by L.
R is a numeric array.
If L is a character scalar or one-element vector whose value is one of ('I', 'F', 'R', or 'V'), this value indicates the datatype to which the coefficients of R should be converted.
If L is a numeric scalar or one-element vector, then its datatype is the datatype to which the coefficients of R should be converted.
Z is R where all of the coefficients of each of the values are converted to the datatype indicated by L. The shape of Z is the same as that of R.


For example,

      'R' ⎕DC 1.5i3 3r2i3       'R' ⎕DC 1.1i3 2476979795053773r2251799813685248i3       'F' ⎕DC 3r2 2476979795053773r2251799813685248 1.5 1.1       0 ⎕DR ⎕←0x ⎕DC 2i1 2i1 Complex Rational (1416): arbitrary precision numerator and denominator

Note: ⎕DC is available as both a monadic and dyadic form system function, you cannot assign a value to it.
