Compose

or Composition is the most common name for the primitive dyadic operator denoted with a Jot introduced by NARS and included in the Dyalog APL family. On the APL Wiki, Compose is divided into its two cases, Beside when both operands are functions, and Bind when one is a function and the other an array.

"Composition assembles functions and arguments to form derived functions. This provides the glue with which to put together functions and arguments so that operator's arguments can be more complex than single functions."

In Ken Iverson's designs Rationalized APL, A Dictionary of APL, and the J language, the composition or Compose  refers to a different kind of composition, the Over operator.

More recently, the term "composition" is used in Dyalog APL to refer to any of a family of operators including Beside and Bind, Commute and Constant , Atop , and Over. Extended Dyalog APL and dzaima/APL add to this list the operators Under and Reverse Compose.
