Let's define a verb: max which can be used either dyadically: 5 max 7 7
or monadically: max 5 7 7 Can somebody explain to me please (for the purpose of completing http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Vocabulary/dollarco ) why this works: max=: $:/ : >. but this doesn't: max=: 3 : 0 $:/y : x>.y ) The explicit version (which to me looks equivalent to the tacit one) does not work with a noun longer than 1 atom: max 7 7 max 5 7 |stack error: max | $:/y ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
