A predecessor of array notation is the list notation used by both [[A+]] and [[K]], with parenthesis-and-semicolon syntax like <source lang=apl inline>(a;b;c)</source>. In A+ this is related to [[bracket indexing]] and an "expression group" notation written with curly braces and semicolons. It allows line breaks, but in addition to rather than in place of semicolons. The later K version corresponds more closely to APL: the semicolon is a statement separator and is interchangeable with a line break, and because K represents arrays with nested lists, it corresponds to both list and high-rank array notation. | |||
