Neither is quite like the APL2-style Reduce operator (<code><span class='Function'>/</span></code> or <code><span class='Value'>⌿</span></code> in APL), although I sometimes use the term "reduction" to mean either Fold or Insert. There are a bunch of other names like "accumulate" and "aggregate" for this class of calculations—I don't know which is best but I know "catamorphism" is worst.</p> <p>A distinguishing feature of APL-family reductions is that they don't use an initial value, and try to derive an "identity element" from the operand if the argument array is empty. BQN retains this capability but also allows the programmer to supply an initial value as <code><span class='Value'>𝕨</span></code>.</p> <h2 id="fold">Fold</h2> |
