Notice how we were dealing with integers until now, but then we multiply by a float (non-integer). In APL, you don't need to worry about numeric data type conversions. All numeric types get automatically promoted and demoted as needed. APL will usually use the most compact internal representation. | Notice how we were dealing with integers until now, but then we multiply by a float (non-integer).

Also notice that we use a proper multiplication symbol, <math>×</math>, for multiplication. If traditional mathematics has a symbol for a concept APL includes then APL will use that symbol. Another example is <math>÷</math> for division. | |||
