: OK. Could you link (or simply list; dc is tiny) the standard dc commands on the language page? --[[User:IanOsgood|IanOsgood]] 02:02, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
:: I will add the list of commands to the dc page. [[User:Rahul|Rahul]] 09:13, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 
AFIK, dc only has a single data type (numeric value), so how is it '''generic''' swap? --[[User:PauliKL|PauliKL]] 12:52, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 
: Would be an interesting question, because since unityped systems are a subset of typed systems. So it can be argued that if dc is unityped, then all the procedures that it implements are generic by default. Interestingly dc is not unityped -
i.e
$dc
[ 1 2 3 4 ]
[ 5 6 7 8 ]
sa sb la lb
f
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
