=== Frequency of characters in a string ===
The [[Outer Product]] allows for an intuitive way to compute the occurrence of characters at a given location in a string:
<source lang=apl>
      'abcd' ∘.= 'cabbage'
0 1 0 0 1 0 0
0 0 1 1 0 0 0
1 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
</source>
Then it is simply a matter of performing a sum-reduce <source lang=apl inline>+/</source> to calculate the total frequency of each character:<ref name="Marshall LambaConf 2019">Marshall Lochbaum used this example as part of his talk on [[Outer Product]] at LambdaConf 2019.</ref>
<source lang=apl>
      +/ 'abcd' ∘.= 'cabbage'
2 2 1 0
</source>

We can expand on the use of <source lang=apl inline>∘.</source> in the above example to perform more complex calculations. First we compare all characters to the opening and closing characters;
<source lang=apl>
<source lang=apl>
       '()'∘.='plus(square(a),plus(square(b),times(2,plus(a,b)))'
       '()'∘.='plus(square(a),plus(square(b),times(2,plus(a,b)))'
