In early APLs such as [[APL\360]], applying an operator to Compress will always result in a [[SYNTAX ERROR]], because Compress is not an allowed operand of any operator. This is also the case in [[ngn/APL]]: although operators can apply to any function, Replicate cannot be used unless both arguments are immediately available. In both cases there is no way to determine whether Replicate "acts like a function" or "acts like an operator". | In early APLs such as [[APL\360]], applying an operator to Compress will always result in a [[SYNTAX ERROR]], because Compress is not an allowed operand of any operator.
