^t. %@! *:t. {&0 0 1 0x@(3&<.) Raul,
Why are you expecting the more complex result from `^t.`? And btw, the result from *: is striking to me because of the x in it. At first I thought it was for the left argument, but the realized it is to force precision. --- (B=) On Oct 29, 2012, at 9:32 AM, Raul Miller <rauldmil...@gmail.com> wrote: > In this case, it's doing this: > > ^ t. > %@! > > the dictionary definition suggests that we should instead be getting > something like this: > > %@! :(^ * %@!@])"0 > > I'm not sure, though, what good that extra complexity would achieve. > It's possible, for example, that that text for the dyadic case of a > taylor verb was a half formed thought and what would be useful is > something related-but-different. > > -- > Raul > > On Sun, Oct 28, 2012 at 9:35 PM, Richard Vaughan <rlvaug...@comcast.net> > wrote: >> Not missing any important concept!
