Abstract

Generalized arrays in APL have been for long a very controversial subject. Since we are now undertaking the redaction of an extended standard for APL, it seems legitimate to reopen the old debate.An analysis of both nested and boxed array systems, in the light of a new development in APL which consists of the introduction of a new data-type in the language, shows the interest of having both systems with their own specificities.
