In this statement the [[Reduce]] operator (<source lang=apl inline>/</ | In this statement the [[Reduce]] operator (<source lang=apl inline>/</syntaxhighlight>) is applied to the [[Minimum]] function (<source lang=apl inline>⌈</syntaxhighlight>) resulting in the derived function <source lang=apl inline>⌈/</syntaxhighlight>. In most modern APLs this function can be manipulated like any other function, for example to [[assign]] it to a name: | ||
<source lang=apl> | <source lang=apl> | ||
f ← ⌈/ | f ← ⌈/ | ||
3 f 2 9 0 ¯1 0 2 5 | 3 f 2 9 0 ¯1 0 2 5 | ||
9 9 0 2 5 | 9 9 0 2 5 | ||
</ | </syntaxhighlight> | ||
Here the value of <source lang=apl inline>f</ | Here the value of <source lang=apl inline>f</syntaxhighlight> is a derived function. Many APLs display a derived function by placing its operands next to the operator, as it is written: | ||
<source lang=apl> | <source lang=apl> | ||
f | f | ||
⌈/ | ⌈/ | ||
</ | </syntaxhighlight> | ||
