I'm working on PE#74, which asks for the sum of the factorials of the digits in
a number
(i.e. if the number is 169 then it asks for 1!+6!+9!).
I wrote this verb that performs the required operation:
SumOfFact=: 3 : 0
+/!"."0@": y
)
It works perfectly, but now I need to reiterate it to produce a chain like 169
-> 363601 -> 1454 -> 169,so I tried:
SumOfFact^:3 169
But instead of working as I hoped it simply writes "SumOfFact^:3 169" as output.
What am I doing wrong and how am I supposed to repeatedly apply a verb to an
argument?
