Very nice and very instructive. It hadn't occurred to me to use 'each'
on an unboxed argument, this will be useful in the future.
And I had used this thing to obtain the hours:
hours=: 12&(|`[@.(0=|))"0
hours i.24
12 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
Incrementing and shifting is simpler and more elegant. Thanks!
