Re: [Bug-apl] Not a syntax error

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi Blake,

my initial thinking was also that this is a syntax error.
However the ISO standard wants a value error (around page 67):"

"Pattern V ← B

Evaluation Sequence:

If B is not a value, signal value-error."

Additionally, while their may be a semantic problem with that code as you point out, there is utterly nothing wrong with the _syntax_.

Hi

I think it is really is a syntax error

Creating gg as a 'procedure' (returns no value) vs using it as a function (returns a value) in coding

But argument can be made that gg  has no value
