the APL system and running programs.
Features:
• Multiple statements can appear in a single line.
• Statement branching can occur anywhere in a
statement line.
• The system provides immediate mode line editing
of complex APL expressions.
• The system permits user-controlled tab positioning
for liD operations.
• The user's active workspace is dynamically variable.
• The workspace symbol table size is dynamically
variable.
• The llser workspace can be saved on disk or
magnetic tape.
• All floating point calculations are done ill double
precision format (18 significant digits).
• The language provides system variables which contain information about the user's environment.
• The language provides system functions which contain information about variables in the active workspace.
