Jump to navigation Jump to search

In APL+Win, EVOLUTION ERROR is an error message indicating a glyph or syntactic feature has been used that has no meaning at the current evolution level. It occurs at )EvLevel 0 for any feature that varies with evolution level, and at )EvLevel 2 for some syntax elements related to parentheses: bracket indexing or assignment to an unparenthesized strand, and the use of parentheses to turn a hybrid function-operator into a pure function, such as (/) for Replicate. EVOLUTION ERROR doesn't occur at )EvLevel 1.
