== User defined scalar functions ==
In [[nested array model]] dialects with the [[Depth (operator)|Depth]] operator (<source lang=apl inline>⍥</source>), any function can be used as a scalar function (that is, be applied to all simple scalars) using the <source lang=apl inline>perv←⍥0</source>:

In [[dzaima/APL]] the [[dyadic]] form of Depth is not yet implemented, so this definition will only work for monadic <source lang=apl inline>NonScalarFn</source>.
In dialects that support [[dfn]]s, this operator can be defined<ref>[[John Scholes]], [https://dfns.dyalog.com/n_perv.htm perv] (Scalar pervasion). dfns workspace, 2019-02-17.</ref> as:
