The arguments to Drop must be valid arguments to [[Take]], and elements of the left argument are matched to [[axes]] of the right in the same way. Like Take, the left argument is subject to [[scalar rank extension]], and in some APLs the right is as well. | The arguments to Drop must be valid arguments to [[Take]], and elements of the left argument are matched to [[axes]] of the right in the same way.

Each axis with a matching left argument element <code>d</code> is modified to remove <code>|d</code> indices, or all of them if <code>|d</code> is larger than the length of the axis. Indices are removed starting from the beginning if <code>d</code> is positive and starting from the end if it is negative (if <code>d</code> is 0, then no indices are removed). Equivalently, for an axis of length <code>l</code>, <code>l-l⌊|d</code> axes are retained—not dropped—from the axis starting from the opposite side: the end if <code>d</code> is positive and the beginning otherwise. If <code>|d</code> is greater than or equal to <code>l</code> for any axis, then the result is [[empty]] and shares a [[prototype]] with the argument. | Each axis with a matching left argument element <code>d</code> is modified to remove <code>|d</code> indices, or all of them if <code>|d</code> is larger than the length of the axis.
