where are you taking the definition of various functions like ?
power operator ?
dieresis jot ? like: (⊂⍤1) z,⍪z (I really don't know what it is doing)
I see no references anywhere on the web. None in apl2 manual, none in Dyalog manual.
how can I learn thoses ... without a manual and/or some examples ?
Xtian.

I was reading about the Dyalog "key" operator ⌸. It's certainly a useful function, and something that should probably be added to GNU APL, in my opinion.
As always when thinking about useful additions to GNU APL, I wanted to try to do some things that ⌸ can do, without having access to it.
So, I wanted to simply take a string of characters, and create a list of each character and the number of occurrences of each character in that string. My solution works, but feels clumsy:
* { ⊃{(↑⍵) (↑⍴⍵)}¨(⎕UCS v) ⊂ v←⍵[⍋⍵] } "abcfoobat"*
┏→━━━━┓
↓'a' 2┃
┃'b' 2┃
┃'c' 1┃
┃'f' 1┃
┃'o' 2┃
┃'t' 1┃
┗━━━━━┛
Can anyone improve this? In particular, can it be improved to the point of convincing me that ⌸ is not needed?

Elias
