[[ | == For novice APLers == | ||
If you already have a fair grasp of APL's [[primitive function]]s and [[primitive operator|operators]], you can sharpen your skills by challenging yourself with these: | |||
* [https://abrudz.github.io/crosswords/5/ APL Crossword 5]: Fill in expressions and snippets to fulfil all the clues. | |||
* [https://www.dyalog.com/2016-year-game.htm 2016 Year Game]: Find APL expressions involving exactly the digits 2 0 1 6 in that order to equal the numbers 0 to 100. | |||
[ | * [https://www.dyalog.com/2017-code-golf-challenge.htm 2017 Code Golf Challenge]: Find the shortest possible APL expression that evaluates 1…52 without using any number or character literals. | ||
