'''SHARP APL''' was a standalone version of APL offered by [[I.P. Sharp Associates]] (IPSA), who had previously offered APL interpretation as a timesharing service. IPSA employed many notable APL designers including [[Ken Iverson]], and SHARP APL was the source of many developments in [[flat array theory]].
'''SHARP APL''' was an APL implementation offered by [[I.P. Sharp Associates]] (IPSA), originally as part of its [[time-sharing]] service and later as a stand-alone product. It was split off from [[STSC]]'s [[APL*PLUS]], which until then had been sold jointly by the two companies. SHARP APL was the source of many developments in [[flat array theory]], driven by [[Ken Iverson]] and other APL designers at IPSA.

== Releases ==


==== Scalar ====
Releases began to be identified primarily by number rather than date beginning with 17.0. From this point, new primitives and other major language changes were added in *.0 releases; many point releases were not updates to the interpreter itself but to other components. For example, release 17.4 updated the printing facility HSPRINT. Point releases affecting the interpreter generally added or extended [[quad name]]s and [[system command]]s, or improved performance. Release number 18 was apparently skipped.


All scalar functions have rank zero.

== Primitive functions ==
 
The primitives shown here are those for SHARP APL around 1987, near the end of the decline of [[time-sharing]] APL. Some primitives from [[A Dictionary of APL]] were added after this, including [[Find|In]] (<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⍷</syntaxhighlight>), [[Nubsieve]] (<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>≠</syntaxhighlight>), and [[Raze]] (<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>↓</syntaxhighlight>), and these appear in [[SAX]].

Features of SHARP APL were documented in "technical notes" issued by IPSA. These notes are numbered following the scheme "SATN-0". Earlier notes typically had no author listed. A [https://www.jsoftware.com/papers/SATN.pdf pdf collection] of SHARP APL Technical Notes is hosted at jsoftware.com, as are html transcriptions of some notes, linked in the table below.
