Pad with the default format control character (OFC[3J). pad with blanks. 20 The digits '1','2','3' and '4' form a group which handle controlled and floating decorators. Decorators may appear either to the left or to the right of their number or to both left and right, in which case two digits from this group should be used which are interpreted left then right. The meanings of the digits are: '1' '2' '3' '4' : apply a floating decorator : apply a floating decorator : apply a floating decorator : cancel '1', '2' or '3' on the to negative numbers only.

The cause of this apparent dilemma stems from the shape of the result of indexing. Informally the rule is the shape of the result is the catenation of the shapes of the indices.
J 1 L€ ______ L€ ________________ ~ ~ the second item is doubly enclosed so 2 3:::>V is a RANK ERROR. " In general it is not wise to mix vector notation and explicit enclosure in the same statement since an extra level of nesting may inadvertently be created. 2 First First (t) is the monadic function which uses the same symbol as take but its semantics are quite different. First penetrates the first level of structure and produces the first item there, as opposed to indexing which does not penetrate.
