{{Built-in|Depth|≡}} is a [[monadic]] [[primitive function]] that returns an array's depth. In the APL [[array model]], the '''depth''' of an array is the number of levels of [[Nested array model|nesting]] or [[box]]ing it exhibits. In some languages, Depth returns a negative result to indicate that not all paths through the array have the same depth. | {{Built-in|Depth|≡}} is a [[monadic]] [[primitive function]] that returns an array's depth.

In the [[flat array model]], the depth is the number of levels of [[box]]ing in an array. More precisely, the depth of a non-boxed or [[empty]] array is 0, and a non-empty boxed array has depth equal to one plus the maximum of the depths of the arrays it contains. | In the [[flat array model]], the depth is the number of levels of [[box]]ing in an array.

The [[J]] language uses the token <source lang= | The [[J]] language uses the token <source lang=j inline>L.</source> and name "Level Of" for depth. | ||
