Hi, your implementation has 2 errors: - you forgot to actually call the quotation - you are calling a quotation that is an input parameter, therefore you word must be declared inline
Here are various implementations using different language constructs: :: zip-with ( xs ys quot -- zs ) xs ys zip [ [ first ] [ second ] bi quot call ] map ; inline : zip-with1 ( xs ys quot -- zs ) [ zip ] [ '[ [ first ] [ second ] bi @ ] map ] bi* ; inline : zip-with2 ( xs ys quot -- zs ) [ zip ] [ [ [ first ] [ second ] bi ] prepose map ] bi* ; inline The zip-with word is actually already implemented in the library, it is called 2map. It's implementation doesn't use locals, if you also want to look at it.
