The Dual operator, written <code>¨</code>, appeared in 1983 both in [[Rationalized APL]] and [[SHARP APL]]<ref>[https://www.jsoftware.com/papers/satn45.htm "Language Extensions of May 1983"]. SATN-45, 1983-05-02.</ref> just after. In both cases it was defined to be a [[close composition]], so that the overall function has the rank of the right operand; this allows <code>¨></code> to serve the purpose of [[Each]] from a [[Nested array model|nested]] APL. Iverson changed the name to Under for his 1987 [[A Dictionary of APL]], and [[J]] uses this name as well. It includes both a close form <source lang=j inline>&.</source> like SHARP and a non-close form <source lang=j inline>&.:</source>. | The Dual operator, written <code>¨</code>, appeared in 1983 both in [[Rationalized APL]] and [[SHARP APL]]<ref>[https://www.jsoftware.com/papers/satn45.htm "Language Extensions of May 1983"].

[[Roger Hui]] proposed Under as a potential addition to [[Dyalog APL]] at [[Dyalog '15]], using the glyph <source lang=apl inline>⍢</source>. This definition was added to both [[Extended Dyalog APL]] and [[dzaima/APL]] in 2018. Structural Under was developed by [[Marshall Lochbaum]] around 2017,<ref>[[Marshall Lochbaum]]. [https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN/commentary/history.html#structural-under BQN's development history: Structural Under].</ref> and was included in Extended Dyalog initially and added to dzaima/APL in 2020. Later [[dzaima]] would implement <source lang=apl inline>⍢×</source> and <source lang=apl inline>⍢|</source> in the same spirit, which are featured in dzaima/APL and [[dzaima/BQN]]. The language [[BQN]] has included structural and computational Under, using the glyph <code>⌾</code>, since its initial design in 2020. | |||
