I was using mean as a simple placeholder (J's tutorial fork) verb that was being created by gerunds. I was looking for a solution for taking the result of a function that produces gerunds to convert that into a verb (train) from that same function. The problem with:
(+/`'' ( 4 : 'x ` y') %`#)`:6 +/ % # is that it requires 2 function calls and a parenthesizing whereas f=: evoke&6 @:( 4 : 'x ` y') allows: +/`'' f %`# I'm interested in building more complex f than that, but it would be needlessly distracting to ask for the help I received with distracting complications. ----- Original Message ----- From: Linda Alvord <lindaalv...@verizon.net> To: programm...@jsoftware.com Cc: Sent: Saturday, March 8, 2014 1:52:42 PM Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] `: 6 binding to verb Could you please explain with an example what your code will do that needs all the definitions that you include. o=: @: ar=: 5!:1@< Cloak=: (0:`)(,^:) Cloak=: (ar'Cloak')Cloak 'evoke tie'=: < o Cloak "0 o ;: '`: `' g2v=: evoke&6 o tie f.
