Implementations differ on the exact behaviour of inner product when the right operand is not a [[scalar function]]. Page 121 of the ISO/IEC 13751:2001(E) [[standard]] specifies that <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>X f.g Y</syntaxhighlight> is equivalent to <syntaxhighlight lang=apl | Implementations differ on the exact behaviour of inner product when the right operand is not a [[scalar function]]. Page 121 of the ISO/IEC 13751:2001(E) [[standard]] specifies that <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>X f.g Y</syntaxhighlight> is equivalent to <syntaxhighlight lang=apl>f/¨ (⊂[⍴⍴x]x)∘.g ⊂[1]y</syntaxhighlight> (assuming [https://aplwiki.com/wiki/Index_origin origin] 1). This is indeed what [[APL2]], [[APLX]], [[APL+Win]], and [[ngn/apl]] follow, while [[Dyalog APL]], [[NARS2000]] and [[GNU APL]] differ as described by [[Roger Hui]]:<ref>[[Roger Hui]].

The <syntaxhighlight lang=apl | The <syntaxhighlight lang=apl>⊃⍤0⊢(↓⍺)∘.(⍺⍺/⍵⍵¨)↓(¯1⌽⍳⍴⍴⍵)⍉⍵</syntaxhighlight> line of IP above can be written more directly as <syntaxhighlight lang=apl>⍺(⍺⍺⌿⍵⍵¨⍤¯1)⍤1 99⊢⍵</syntaxhighlight> which uses the more efficient major-cell-at-a-time algorithm (rather than row-by-column). The ISO/IEC 13751:2001(E) inner product, conversely, can only be calculated row-by-column, as computing the results one major cell (of the right argument) at a time relies on each application of the right operand being done between two scalars and producing a scalar result. | ||
