The same procedure applies to determine whether two frames conform, and if <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>f</syntaxhighlight>'s result shape is known, then the result shape of <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>f⍤l r</syntaxhighlight> can be found by appending it to the shape obtained from conformability on the frames. Rather than copying [[elements]] of the extended argument to match the other one, [[cell]]s are copied. | ||
No language uses [[singleton extension]] for frame conformability: [[SHARP APL]] and [[J]] do not implement singleton extension, and [[Dyalog APL]] and [[A+]] have singleton extension for scalar dyadics but not for Rank. Of these, [[J]] and [[A+]] use [[leading axis agreement]] while SHARP and Dyalog use only empty-frame extension, the equivalent of scalar extension. | No language uses [[singleton extension]] for frame conformability: [[SHARP APL]] and [[J]] do not implement singleton extension, and [[Dyalog APL]] and [[A+]] have singleton extension for scalar dyadics but not for Rank.
