# Apple Array System

Some cases are not implemented. This is provided as an artefact.

See [Apple by Example](https://vmchale.github.io/apple/) for a demonstration of capabilities.

The compiler will bail out with arcane error messages rather than
produce an incorrect result, except that the Python/R extension modules do not
enforce type safety and thus may mysteriously segfault or produce unpredictable corrupt results.

Spilling (during register allocation) is not implemented for Arm. Also
floating-point registers aren't spilled on x86.

## Compiler-As-a-Library

Rather than an environment-based interpreter or a compiler invoked on the
command line and generating object files, one calls a library function which
returns assembly or machine code from a source string.

Thus the same implementation can be used interpreted, compiled, or called from
another language.

```
> [((+)/x)%ℝ(:x)]\`7 (frange 1 10 10)
Arr (4) [4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0]
```

```python
>>> import apple
>>> import numpy as np
>>> sliding_mean=apple.jit('([((+)/x)%(ℝ(:x))]\`7)')
>>> sliding_mean(np.arange(0,10,dtype=np.float64))
array([3., 4., 5., 6.])
```

```janet
repl:1:> (import apple)
@{_ @{:value } apple/jit @{:private true} apple/tyof @{:private true}}
repl:2:> (def sliding-mean (apple/jit ``([((+)/x)%ℝ(:x)]\`7)``))

repl:3:> (sliding-mean @[0.0 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 7.0 8.0 9.0 10.0])
@[3 4 5 6 7]
```

```R
> source("R/apple.R")
> sliding_mean<-jit("([((+)/x)%ℝ(:x)]\\`7)")
> run(sliding_mean,seq(0,10,1.0))
[1] 3 4 5 6 7
```

The JIT'ed moving average in Apple happens to be faster than the rolling mean from
the [zoo package](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/zoo/index.html).

## Dimension As a Functor

This is based on J (and APL?). Looping is replaced by functoriality (rerank).

To supply a zero-cells (scalars) as the first argument to `⊲` (cons) and 1-cells as the second:

```
(⊲)`{0,1}
```

We can further specify that the cells should be selected along some axis, e.g.
to get vector-matrix multiplication:

```
λA.λx.
{
dot ⇐ [(+)/((*)`x y)];
(dot x)`{1∘[2]} (A::Arr (i`Cons`j`Cons`Nil) float)
}
```

The `2` means "iterate over the second axis" i.e. columns.

## Array QuickCheck

```
> :qc \x. [(+)/(*)`x y] x x >= 0.0
Passed, 100.
> :qc \x. [(+)/(*)`x y] x x > 2.0
Proposition failed!
[ Arr (5) [ 0.6213045301664751
, 0.6599381241699802
, 0.762478867048601
, 6.026206825450409e-3
, 0.5633419282435523 ] ]
```

## Installation

Use [ghcup](https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/) to install [cabal](https://www.haskell.org/cabal/) and GHC. Then:

```
make install
```

to install `arepl` (the REPL).

Run

```
make
sudo make install-lib
```

To install the shared library (requires [jq](https://jqlang.github.io/jq/)).

### Python

To install the Python module:

```
make install-py
```

### R

Install `libappler.so` on your system like so:

```
make -C Rc
sudo make install-r
```

Then:

```
source("R/apple.R")
```

to access the functions.

### Janet

Uses [jpm](https://janet-lang.org/docs/jpm.html).

```
make -C janet install
```

## Documentation

Type `\l` in the REPL to show the reference card:

```
> \l
Λ scan √ sqrt
⋉ max ⋊ min
⍳ integer range ⌊ floor
ℯ exp ⨳ {m,n} convolve
\~ successive application \`n dyadic infix
_. log 'n map
` zip `{i,j∘[k,l]} rank
𝒻 range (real) 𝜋 pi
_ negate : size
𝓉 dimension }.? last
->n select ** power
gen. generate 𝓕 fibonacci
re: repeat }. typesafe last
⊲ cons ⊳ snoc
^: iterate %. matmul
⊗ outer product |: transpose
{.? head {. typesafe head
}.? last }: typesafe init
⟨z,w⟩ array literal ?p,.e1,.e2 conditional
...
```

Enter `:help` in REPL:

```
> :help
:help, :h Show this help
:ty Display the type of an expression
...
```

### Python Module

To display module documentation:

```python
>>> import apple
>>> help(apple)
```
