A function is distinct from the [[glyph]] used to denote it. Different APLs, or even one APL (using [[Migration level]]) might use the same glyph for multiple functions, or different glyphs for identical or similar functions. The term "function" can, depending on context, refer either to an [[ambivalent]] function which can be applied with one or two arguments, or the [[Monad|monadic]] or [[Dyad|dyadic]] function obtained by restricting that function to either one or two arguments specifically. | A function is distinct from the [[glyph]] used to denote it.
