simple rules, think only of fork (not hook). So odd number of tines, and (0 index) odd verbs are dyads, evens are ambivalent (same valence as whole verb)
as an exercise, look at the hook rule, and write an equivalent fork for it. [: will look the most like explicit. in a fork, its only valid in even indexes, and it makes its rightmost (an odd) verb monad. u v x w y explicit can be written as ([: u [: v w) @: can pretty much always convert a [: expression. But the binding rule of conjunctions is easy to misapply. +/"1@:=/ is bound as (+/"1@:=)/ and not the desired expression of +/"1@:(=/) ----- Original Message ----- From: Skip Cave <s...@caveconsulting.com> To: "programm...@jsoftware.com" <programm...@jsoftware.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2016 1:59 AM Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] Counting characters Thanks Bob, Raul, Rob, Pascal, & Henry for your input and help. I still haven't gotten the hang of how to chain a srting of verbs together without getting into trouble, but I've found if I keep inserting combinations of caps, parenthesis, and Ats in random places in the string of verbs, I will eventually stumble on a workable solution. Can anyone define a simple single rule for when you are chaining verbs together, to know when and where to cap, or parenthesize and use At?
