[Bug-apl] Beginner question: assigning functions to variables

[Kaspar Emanuel]

Hello all,

Sorry, this might be a stupid question, but I have just started working through https://tutorial.dyalog.com (site seems to have gone down just now as well) and in it they suggest assigning functions to a variable. Something like:

    a←+

    )fns

a

    1 a 1

2

In GNU APL this gives a syntax error. I am guessing this is not standard APL? I tried searching online and in the PDF linked from the GNU APL site but didn't come up with anything. Should I just ignore that part of the tutorial or is there something similar in GNU APL?

Cheers,

Kaspar
