Why do you use `:3 and not / in deduce?
I have always thought the former was ugly.
Thanks for making me look at the Dictionary for m`:n (Evoke Gerund). Is there
some point in having that entry show the equivalence of, for example,
+ ` - ` * ` % `:0 i. 5
0 1 2 3 4
0 _1 _2 _3 _4
0 1 1 1 1
_ 1 0.5 0.333333 0.25
(+ , - , * ,: %) i. 5
0 1 2 3 4
0 _1 _2 _3 _4
0 1 1 1 1
_ 1 0.5 0.333333 0.25
(+ ` - ` * ` % `:0 i. 5) -: ((+ , - , * ,: %) i. 5) NB. Check if they
Match with -:
1
The point being to give a model for m`:0 as there is for m`:3 and m`:6, and to show that
m`:0 isn't quite a simple "Append" as the Dictionary says, but a Laminate (,:)
followed by Appends (,) as needed. There may well be a better model for m`:0. I might
almost be able to remember the symmetry between ` and , and `: and ,: which is visually
pleasing.
