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 | 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]] 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 [[index 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 following dop models inner product in Dyalog APL, with caveats. If you find a case where <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>f.g</syntaxhighlight> differs from <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>f IP g</syntaxhighlight>, not covered by the caveats, I'd be interested. | The following dop models inner product in Dyalog APL, with caveats.
