In many APLs the behavior of a function may be modified using bracket notation, for example <source lang=apl inline>⌽[2]</ | In many APLs the behavior of a function may be modified using bracket notation, for example <source lang=apl inline>⌽[2]</source> to [[Rotate]] along the second [[axis]]. Axis specification was a feature of [[Iverson notation]] and was ubiquitous in early APLs; many newer APLs which adhere to [[leading axis theory]] reject the use of axis specification in favor of the [[Rank operator]] because it is a fully general operator while the behavior of functions with axis must be defined for each function separately. | ||
