[[Dyalog APL]] defines [[Depth]] (<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>≡</syntaxhighlight>) to return negative numbers when the depth is uneven. Most other dialects instead define it to return the maximum depth. The original NARS paper assigned the glyph to a function called [[Simple (NARS)|Simple]], which simply answered if the argument was simple or not, without reporting the actual depth. It was thus equivalent to today's <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>1=≡,Y</syntaxhighlight>. | [[Dyalog APL]] defines [[Depth]] (<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>≡</syntaxhighlight>) to return negative numbers when the depth is uneven.
