If the fill element is an array, then it may also have a fill element (since it is an ordinary BQN array). The fill element is meant to describe the shared structure of the elements of an array: for example, the fill element of an array of numbers should be <code><span class='Number'>0</span></code>, while the fill element for an array of variable-length lists should probably be <code><span class='Bracket'>⟨⟩</span></code>. However, the fill element, unlike other inferred properties, does not satisfy any particular constraints that relate it to its array. The fill element of a primitive's result, including functions derived from primitive modifiers, must depend only on its inputs.</p> <p>In addition to the requirements below, the fill element for the value of a string literal is <code><span class='String'>' '</span></code>.</p> <h3 id="required-functions"><a class="header" href="#required-functions">Required functions</a></h3> |
