APL for the MCM/70 was Microcomputer Computer Machines's APL\360 clone, with a few exceptions,[1] most significantly Scan performing reduces over suffixes instead of prefixes. This was due to a misunderstanding, but had to be perpetuated due to the user base.[2]
Internal types
According to page 220 in the user manual[3], the data types available are as follows:
- 1-byte characters
- 1-byte integer
- 2-byte integer
- 4-byte integer
- 8-byte integer (?)
- 8-byte (double precision) floats (?)
