{{Built-in|Assignment|←}} allows associating a name with an [[array]] value. Some dialects also allow assignment of function and operator values using the assignment arrow. In [[defined ~~functions~~]], assignment is global by default, but can be made local through explicit mention of the target name in the function header, or through dynamic [[shadow]]ing using <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⎕SHADOW</syntaxhighlight>. In [[dfn]]s, assignments are local by default, but can be made global by explicit mention of the target namespace. Modified/indexed/selective assignment updates the most local definition.
