a computer programming language with specialized array processing capabilities

an array programming language based on a notation invented in 1957 by Kenneth E. Iverson while at Harvard University

originated as an attempt to provide consistent notation for the teaching and analysis of topics related to the application of computers

Iverson published his notation in 1962 in a book titled A Programming Language

By 1965, a subset of the notation was implemented as a programming language, then known as IVSYS

APL-keybd2

Later, prior to its commercial release, APL got its name from the title of the book

The first incarnation of what was later to be the APL programming language was a book describing a notation invented in 1957 by Kenneth E. Iverson while at Harvard University

Over a very wide set of problem domains (math, science, engineering, computer design, robotics, data visualization, actuarial science, traditional DP, etc.) APL is an extremely powerful, expressive and concise programming language, typically set in a

↑6?40 The following expression sorts a word list stored in matrix X according to word length

X'; The following function "life", written in Dyalog APL, takes a boolean matrix and calculates the new generation according to Conway's Game of Life

In the following example, also Dyalog, the first line assigns some HTML code to a variable "txt" and then uses an APL expression to remove all the HTML tags, returning the text only as shown in the last line

unique in the speed with which it could perform complex matrix operations

Today, most APL language activity takes place under the Microsoft Windows operating system, with some activity under Linux, Unix, and Mac OS

programs are normally interpreted and less often compiled

makes a clear distinction between functions and operators

has always been criticized for its choice of a unique, non-standard character set

Note the mnemonics associating an APL character with a letter: question mark on Q, power on P, rho on R, base value on B, eNcode on N, modulus on M and so on

has long had a small and fervent user base

has been standardized by the ANSI working group X3J10 and ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 Subcommittee 22 Working Group 3

The Core APL language is specified in ISO 8485:1989, and the Extended APL language is specified in ISO/IEC 13751:2001

Some words in the APL vocabulary have usage or meaning which is at variance with usage in mathematics or computer science
