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]] (< | 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]] (<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>←</syntaxhighlight>) and [[Branch]] (<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>→</syntaxhighlight>) can also be considered primitives, though they do not abide by APL's regular [[syntax]]. Similarly, special constants like [[Zilde]] (<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⍬</syntaxhighlight>) and [[Dyalog APL]]'s Root [[namespace]] (<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>#</syntaxhighlight>) are sometimes called primitives. | ||
