Abstract

Methods for the representation of complex data structures in APL, a programming language based on rectangular arrays and a multiplicity of functions, are presented. Data structures considered are: strings and sets, stacks and queues, tables, linked lists, and LISP-like structures. The material provides insight into the nature of data structures and should aid in establishing future requirements for primal and base languages.
