CNT =: 3 : 'y [ COUNTER =: >: COUNTER'
COUNTER [[ CNT@{. 1 2 3 [ COUNTER =: 0
1
In the general case, COUNTER might have instead been a conjunction,
which would have meant that the [ to the left of CNT in your
expression would have been an argument to that conjunction, instead of
being a simple verb which ignores the value from CNT.
I hope this helps,
