'''Operators and Functions''' is a research report published by [[Ken Iverson]] in 1978, collecting a set of [[operator]]s and [[function]]s he had developed over the preceding years. Released two years before Iverson left [[IBM]] for [[I.P. Sharp]] over differences regarding the direction of APL, it offers precursors for many of the ideas later developed in [[SHARP APL]]. Its primitives were used more directly in [[NARS]], which influenced [[Dyalog APL]] and in this way shaped much of present-day APL development.
