A primitive is a built-in function or operator which is a core part of the language. It is represented by a glyph, which it may share with another primitive. Special syntax like Assignment (←
) and Branch (→
) can also be considered primitives, though they do not abide by APL's regular syntax. Similarly, special constants like Zilde (⍬
) and Dyalog APL's Root namespace (#
) are sometimes called primitives.
