Description
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In computer
science, array programming languages (also known as vector or
multidimensional languages) generalize operations on scalars to apply
transparently to vectors, matrices, and higher dimensional arrays.Array
programming primitives concisely express broad ideas about data
manipulation. The level of conciseness can be dramatic in certain cases:
it is not uncommon to find array programming language one-liners that
require more than a couple of pages of Java code.APL, designed by Ken
Iverson, was the first programming language to provide array programming
capabilities. The mnemonic APL refers to the title of his seminal book
"A Programming Language" and not to arrays per se. Iverson's
contribution to rigor and clarity was probably more important than the
simple extension of dimensions to functions.
