BQN uses non-array values such as characters and numbers, called "atoms", while in J every noun is an array. A BQN array can contain any values in any mixture, while a J array must be uniformly numbers, characters, or boxes (BQN doesn't use boxes).</p> <p>The J terms "atom" and "element" are used to mean different things by different authors. In BQN, an atom or rank-0 array is called a "unit", and the values contained in an array—which may or may not be arrays—are called "elements". Each element is contained in a 0-cell, or rank-0 subarray. BQN uses the term "major cell" for what J calls an "item" of an array: a cell with rank one less than that array. BQN shares the terms "list" and "table" for rank-1 and rank-2 arrays with J.</p> <p>BQN uses "<a href="depth.html">depth</a>" rather than "boxing level". BQN gives atoms depth 0, so that the depth of a BQN array is one higher than the boxing level of the corresponding J array.</p> -<h3 id="roles">Roles</h3> +<h3 id="roles"><a class="header" href="#roles">Roles</a></h3> <p>In J, the part of speech is an inherent property of a value, while in BQN it is determined by how the value is used in a particular expression, and can be different from the value's type.
