	Tacit functions apply to implicit arguments. This is in contrast to the explicit use of arguments in [[dfns]] (<source inline lang=apl>⍺ ⍵</source>) and [[tradfns]] (which have named arguments). Some APL dialects allow to combine functions into '''trains''' following a small set of rules. This allows ~~to create~~ complex derived functions without specifying any arguments explicitly.
