A '''RANK ERROR''' is an [[error message]] which indicates that an array had an incorrect [[rank]] for the way it was used. For example, in most APLs, [[Iota]] only accepts a [[vector]] or [[scalar]], so giving it a higher-rank array as [[argument]] results in a RANK ERROR: | A '''RANK ERROR''' is an [[error message]] which indicates that an array had an incorrect [[rank]] for the way it was used.

A RANK ERROR may be caused when argument ranks are incompatible in some other way. In languages with [[high-rank set functions]] such as [[Dyalog APL]] and [[J]], the right argument rank must be at least the left argument rank minus one. Calling it with a matrix left argument and a scalar right argument, which has a rank two smaller, gives a RANK ERROR: | A RANK ERROR may be caused when argument ranks are incompatible in some other way.
