Hi,
in my opinion lambdas should be as close to defined functions as
possible
and local variables are one aspect of that.
Many lambdas are simpler with ⎕IO←0 so localizing ⎕IO is a
frequent simplification.
The primary reason why GN
Hi,
I believe this is simply a misunderstanding of functionality.
Consider this (something similar happens if you )COPY the same script
twice):
* )CLEAR**
** FOO←{ 42 ⊣ ⍵ } ⍝ OK: create monadic defined function FOO
(which returns 42)**
** FOO←{ 42 ⊣ ⍵ } ⍝ ERROR: FOO is now
Hey, isn't it one of the proper characteristics of APL that you can do
/anything/ in one line--if you're clever enough? 😁

Ah, that all makes sense. I hadn't considered the differing return types
for )ERASE vs. ⎕EX, that is useful.
Thank you,
