That helps a lot.
This showed me that x2jElm is a conjunction.
x2jElm
2 : 0
x2jElmLoc=: x2jElmLoc,<,m
x2jElmDef=: x2jElmDef`(v f.)
)
And this showed me that the next result is a new verb's atom representation.
I am still way thinking about how the line ` '/' x2jElm (3 : 0)` which has
no `=:` at the end, can produce a useful result. In a similar manner the
code I could not make work had no `:=` at the end of the first line, but
produced a useful result. I am struggling to understand that concept. That
is still mind blowing for me. I mean, I see the `=:` inside the conjunction
x2jElm, and I suppose that is where the assignment is being done, but that
is some fancy code.
Thanks for your clarifications.
'/' x2jElm (3 : 0)
