<p><big>Rank polymorphism</big></p>
<p>Rank polymorphism is one of the defining features of the <a href="page.php?w=array_programming">array programming</a> languages, like <a href="page.php?w=APL_%28programming_language%29">APL</a>. The essence of the rank-polymorphic programming model is implicitly treating all operations as aggregate operations, usable on arrays with arbitrarily many dimensions, which is to say that rank polymorphism allows functions to be defined to operate on arrays of any shape and size.</p>
