§ Things I wish I knew when I was learning APL
- Operators in APL terminology (such as
¨
) are higher order functions. Thus, an operator allows one to modify known functions.
- Use
]disp
and ]display
to understand the structure of APL arrays.
- Set
]box on -style=max
to always enable drawing arrays with ]display
. This is supremely useful as a newbie to understand array structure.
- Set
]box on -trains=parens
to render trains as trees. Super helpful when attempting to grok train
code.
- Set
]boxing on
to enable boxing for trains, arguments, everything.
