How do you explain thne  ,  in the tree?

Where does the  x  or  3  enter the situation?  It provides an answer, but
how?

Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] Explicit v tacit

I very much like Raul's summary of explicit and tacit below.  Explicit is
"show me an example" and tacit is "show me the procedure".

I know explicit verbs can have tacit parts and tacit verbs can have explicit
parts!

    mean =: 3 : '(+/ % #)y'
    sumofsq =: +/&(3 : '*: y')
    mean 1 2 2 4 6
 3
    3 sumofsq 4
 25
