Joe, this has taken me a while because I like to understand something, at least a little bit, before I respond. I can't quite how this works.
(,+/ @(_2&{.))^:14(1) 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144 233 377 610 You get an extra term, but I could define your verb. fibjb=: 13 :'}:(,[:+/ (_2&{.))^:y 1' fibjb 14 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144 233 377 But I wish I could understand how it works as it looks so simple. A tree didn't help much: 5!:4 <'fibjb' ┌─ 3 ── : ─┴─ ,:'}:(,[:+/ (_2&{.))^:y 1' Dissect seemed to withhold its secrets. SO it's up to you to help me.' load 'debug' dissect 'fibjb 14' Thanks in advance.
