[[Iverson notation]] included the notion of a prefix vector <math>\alpha^j(n)</math> consisting of <math>j</math> ones followed by <math>n-j</math> zeros; such a vector could be used to produce a length-<math>j</math> prefix of a length-<math>n</math> vector using [[Compress]]. A prefix function <source lang=apl inline>n ⍺ j</source> was included in early versions of [[APL\360]]. | [[Iverson notation]] included the notion of a prefix vector <math>\alpha^j(n)</math> consisting of <math>j</math> ones followed by <math>n-j</math> zeros; such a vector could be used to produce a length-<math>j</math> prefix of a length-<math>n</math> vector using [[Compress]].
