- Direct definition (operator), an anonymous function produced in NARS by applying
∇to strings - Direct Definition, a J form that simplifies explicit function syntax to define anonymous functions
- "Direct function" is one expansion of dfn, an anonymous function style introduced by Dyalog APL and written with curly braces.
