☜ | Intrinsic Function1990 Version of ANSI Standard | ☞ |
Intrinsic functions are denoted by the prefix $ followed by one of a designated list of names, followed by a parenthesized argument list. Intrinsic function names differing only in the use of corresponding upper and lower case letters are equivalent. The standard contains the following function names:
A[SCII]
C[HAR]
D[ATA]
E[XTRACT]
F[IND]
FN[UMBER]
G[ET]
J[USTIFY]
L[ENGTH]
N[EXT]
O[RDER]
P[IECE]
Q[UERY]
R[ANDOM]
S[ELECT]
T[EXT]
TR[ANSLATE]
V[IEW]
Z[unspecified]
Unused function names beginning with an initial letter other than Z are reserved for future enhancement of the standard.
The formal definition of the syntax of function is a choice from among all of the individual function syntax definitions of 2.2.7
function | ::= | │ │ │ │ │ |
syntax of $ASCII function syntax of $Char function ... syntax of $View function |
│ │ │ │ │ |
Any implementation of the language must be able to recognize both the abbreviation and the full spelling of each function name.
