I started using APL in the early 1970s and now I am retired I still use it for fun. I have written a couple of articles for vector, you will find the first at http://www.vector.org.uk/archive/v103/morgan103_81.htm.

The second described a quick and dirty Sudoku program. It was intended to stop me wasting too much time solving problems because I would know my computer could do it better then me. Then it occurred to me that I could write a better program if I learnt more about how to solve them. Now I have a large and dirty Sudoku program and still waste time working them out myself.

Testing

Utf8orNot We can demonstrate the possibility by imagining an Anglo-Saxon APLer writing the following:

a Ð¨×¯2+ð¨¨¨w ⍝ where capital 'Ð' and small 'ð' eth are functions and 'a' and 'w' are arrays
