Extending APL2 to include program control structures
Abstract
APL2, and APL before it, have always been criticized for not embodying formal program flow control structures. It is proposed that a set of reserved words be added to the APL2 language. This set could include `if', `else', `while', etc. This extension should enhance performance and improve the readability of programs. This improved readability could lead to more maintainable code.
