Command: Apply

Name:
Apply - calls a function with the elements of an array as arguments
Synopsis:
array proc Apply -> any
Description:
Apply interprets the elements of the input array a as the list of arguments of the supplied function f, f(a(1),a(2), ...,a(n)) This is to be distinguished from Map which individually applies the function to the elements of the array, [f(a(1),f(a(2), ...,f(a(n))]
Parameters:
array is an arbitrarily shaped heterogeneous array. proc is any procedure object (pure function).
Examples:
[1 2] {add} Apply --> 3 [1 2] {dup mul} Map --> [1 4] [(hell world) 4 (o)] {insert} Apply --> (hello world)
Author:

FirstVersion:
unknown, documented 121124
Remarks:
This function is an implementation of Mathematica's Apply function.
