The leading axis convention

-

Several primitive functions manipulate the right argument, or sometimes both arguments, along one or more axes. According to the leading axis model, it's best to make the primitives operate on initial axes, because the Rank modifier then allows it to apply to later axes as well. Here we'll see how this pattern works in BQN.

Monadic functions

Manipulating cells

Most non-arithmetic monadic functions work only on the first axis of the argument—that is, they treat it as a list of its major cells. The function Length (≠) counts these major cells, while Prefixes (↑), Suffixes (↓), Reverse (⌽), and First Cell (⊏) move them around. The Insert (˝) and Scan (`) modifiers also yield functions that work along the first axis; in contrast, Fold (´) requires 𝕩 to be a list, as it works on elements.
