* APL is the name of an asteroid: 132524 APL

APL ( named after the book A Programming Language ) is an interactive array-oriented language and integrated development environment, which is available from a number of commercial and noncommercial vendors and for most computer platforms .< ref >

* The iota symbol is used to generate a vector of consecutive integers in the programming language APL.

The J Programming Language, a follow on to APL that is designed to use standard keyboard symbols, uses >.

The J programming language, developed in the early 1990s by Kenneth E. Iverson and Roger Hui, is a synthesis of APL ( also by Iverson ) and the FP and FL function-level languages created by John Backus.

The outer product is also a higher-order function in some computer programming languages such as APL and Mathematica.

However, none of these alternative standards has been as widely adopted as Unicode, which is now the base character set for many new standards and protocols, and is built into the architecture of operating systems ( Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X, and many Unix-like systems ), programming languages ( Perl, Python, C #, Java, Common LISP, APL ), and libraries ( IBM International Components for Unicode ( ICU ) along with the Pango, Graphite, Scribe, Uniscribe, and ATSUI rendering engines ), font formats ( TrueType and OpenType ) and so on.

University students demonstrate in streets and call for dictatorship to end ; Alia meets with students ; Thirteenth Plenum of the Central Committee of the APL authorizes a multiparty system ; Democratic Party of Albania, first opposition party established ; regime authorizes political pluralism ; draft constitution is published ; by year's end, 5, 000 Albanian refugees had crossed the mountains into Greece.

Most programming languages ( except for a few such as APL and Smalltalk ) and algebraic formulas give higher precedence to multiplication than addition, in which case the correct interpretation of the example above is ( 1 + ( 2 * 3 )).

TRAC is, like APL or LISP, an expression oriented language ( in contrast to more typical procedure-oriented languages ), but unlike APL, it completely lacks operators.

American President Lines Ltd. ( now simply referred to as APL ) is the world's seventh-largest container transportation and shipping company, providing more than 80 weekly services through a network combining intermodal freight transport operations with IT and e-commerce, enabling the transportation of over 2 million containers annually.

With a global presence, APL is able to ply its trade in 200 locations and key trade lanes, including Asia-Australia, Asia-Europe, Intra-Asia, Intra-Europe, Latin America, Middle East, Trans-Atlantic and Trans-Pacific.

But "=" is used for equality and not assignment in the Pascal family, Ada, Eiffel, APL, and other languages.

* PGD is mentioned in the 2004 novel My Sister's Keeper by the characters as the main character, Anna Fitzgerald, was created through PGD to be a genetic match for her APL positive sister Kate so that she could donate bone marrow at her birth to help Kate fight the APL.

:" APL is like a beautiful diamond-flawless, beautifully symmetrical.

It is obvious that the author was influenced by APL ;

A + is an array programming language descendent from the programming language A, which in turn was created to replace APL in 1988 .< ref > The History of A < sup >+</ sup > at aplusdev. org </ ref > Arthur Whitney developed the " A " portion of A +, while other developers at Morgan Stanley extended it, adding a graphical user interface and other language features.

Because A + code uses the original APL symbols, displaying A + requires a font with those special characters ; a font called " kapl " is provided on the web site for that purpose.

The language, originally developed in 1993, is a variant of APL and contains elements of Scheme.

The APL also provides that only those laws adopted by the National People ’ s Congress or its Standing Committee, administrative regulations promulgated by the State Council, and local regulations adopted by the local people ’ s congresses may impose administrative approval requirements.

These contributions may be Technical ( i. e. new developments in the APL language itself ) or Service ( assistance or support to SIGAPL or the APL community generally ).

The term is most usually used to refer to a Lisp interactive environment, but can be applied to command line shells and similar environments for programming languages such as APL, BASIC, F #, Haskell, J, Perl, PHP, Prolog, Python, R, Ruby, Scala, Smalltalk, Standard ML, Tcl, et al.

* in genetics, ADA is the abbreviation of Adenosine deaminase enzyme

An abbreviation ( from Latin brevis, meaning short ) is a shortened form of a word or phrase.

In strict analysis, abbreviations should not be confused with contractions or acronyms ( including initialisms ), with which they share some semantic and phonetic functions, though all three are connoted by the term " abbreviation " in loose parlance. An abbreviation is a shortening by any method ; a contraction is a reduction of size by the drawing together of the parts.

A contraction of a word is made by omitting certain letters or syllables and bringing together the first and last letters or elements ; an abbreviation may be made by omitting certain portions from the interior or by cutting off a part.

A contraction is an abbreviation, but an abbreviation is not necessarily a contraction.

In French, the period only follows an abbreviation if the last letter in the abbreviation is not the last letter of its antecedent: " M ." is the abbreviation for " monsieur " while " Mme " is that for " madame ".

Chinese měiguórén for example, is derived from a word for the United States, měiguó, where měi is an abbreviation for Yàměilìjiā " America " and guó is " country ".

* Aperture priority, Av ( Aperture value ) is a common abbreviation on a camera mode dial

* ATLAS is an acronym for Association for Tourism and Leisure Education, a European educational project

* AOTUS is also the acronym for the Archivist of the United States

ACN is a three-letter acronym that may refer to:

The Asociación Latinoamericana de Integración ( the Latin American Integration Association ; known as ALADI or, occasionally, by the English acronym LAIA ) is a Latin American trade integration association, based in Montevideo.

The Old Testament is called by the Jews the Tanakh, an acronym formed by combining the initials of the three sections by which the Jews divide the text: the Torah, or Law ( the Pentateuch ), the Nevi ' im, or Prophets, and the Ketuvim, or Writings or Hagiographa ( with vowels added, as Hebrew is written with a consonantal script, TaNaKh ).

BASIC is a family of general-purpose, high-level programming languages whose design philosophy emphasizes ease of use ; the name is an acronym from Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code.

The acronym is tied to the name of an unpublished paper by Thomas Kurtz and is not a backronym.

" BASE " is an acronym that stands for four categories of fixed objects from which one can jump: buildings, antennas, spans ( bridges ), and earth ( cliffs ).

The name itself is an acronym, a pun, and a description.

Capitalised, BASIC is sometimes taken as an acronym that stands for British American Scientific International Commercial.

The global youth movement is known as NOAM ( an acronym for No ' ar Masorti ); its North American chapter is called the United Synagogue Youth.

Its name is an acronym for COmmon Business-Oriented Language, defining its primary domain in business, finance, and administrative systems for companies and governments.

The theory that the word originated as an acronym from the names of the group of ministers is a folk etymology, although the coincidence was noted at the time and could possibly have popularized its use.

PID is an acronym for Proportional-Integral-Derivative, referring to the three terms operating on the error signal to produce a control signal.

* CNS is a short acronym in musical jargon to reference the catalog numbering systems for single records

* ( Hanukkah ) is also the Hebrew acronym for — " Eight candles, and the halakha is like the House of Hillel ".

The acronym, ' DIN ,' is often incorrectly expanded as (" German Industry Standard ").

Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications ( Digital European Cordless Telecommunications ), usually known by the acronym DECT, is a digital communication standard, which is primarily used for creating cordless phone systems.
