'''Ivy''' is a calculator with APL syntax and functions developed by [[wikipedia:Rob Pike|Rob Pike]] with the [[wikipedia:Go (programming language)|Go]] programming language (itself developed by Pike and others). Built-in functions are written with one or more ASCII characters, and use either the [[wikipedia:C (programming language)|C]]-like symbols of Go or short names such as <code>div</code> or <code>rot</code> | '''Ivy''' is a calculator with APL syntax and functions developed by [[wikipedia:Rob Pike|Rob Pike]] with the [[wikipedia:Go (programming language)|Go]] programming language (itself developed by Pike and others). Built-in functions are written with one or more ASCII characters, and use either the [[wikipedia:C (programming language)|C]]-like symbols of Go or short names such as <code>div</code> or <code>rot</code>. It emphasizes high-precision computation, using exact rationals when possible and high-precision floating-point numbers otherwise. | ||
Ivy allows user-defined functions (called operators), but not higher-order operators; it has only the four built-in operators [[Reduce]], [[Scan]], [[Outer Product]], and [[Inner Product]]. Functions are defined with the <code>op</code> keyword, with a declaration that matches the way the function will be used followed by <code>=</code> and a body of one or more lines (the result of the last is returned). Among APLs, this syntax most closely resembles that of [[A+]]. | Ivy allows user-defined functions (called operators), but not higher-order operators; it has only the four built-in operators [[Reduce]], [[Scan]], [[Outer Product]], and [[Inner Product]].
