Any rank

Indexes of an array

The depth of a list is the number of nesting levels at which it is rectangular. Its shape is a vector of its count at each level at which it is rectangular, and corresponds to the left argument of Take.

q)depth:{$[type[x]<0; 0; "j"$sum(and)scan 1b,-1_{1=count distinct count each x}each(raze\)x]}
q)shape:{$[0=d:depth x; 0#0j; d#{first(raze/)x}each(d{each[x;]}\count)@\:x]}
q)ix:('[{x vs til prd x};shape])
q)ix til 6
