I am sure that if you want to get beginners into J then tacit programming is
not the first choice.
Try making simple verbs and do simple stuff and use one operation at a time
M1=: 3 : 0
a=:>{.y
b=:>}.y
a;a+b
)
M2=: 3 : 0
a=:>{.y
b=:>}.y
a;a*b
)
M3=: 3 : 0
a=:>{.y
b=:>}.y
a;a%b
)
M3 M2 M1 3;5
M11=: 3 : 0
a=:>{.y
b=:>}.y
RES_M1=: a+b
a;b
)
M21=: 3 : 0
a=:>{.y
b=:>}.y
RES_M2=: a*b
a;b
)
M31=: 3 : 0
a=:>{.y
b=:>}.y
RES_M3=: a%b
a;b
)
M31 M21 M11 3;5
'R' names''
RES_M1
8
RES_M3
15
RES_M3
0.6
