However, (1 2 3) is not a verb. So that gives you a domain error right
there, regardless of any right argument:
Doh! NOW i get it. ] is the verb and 3 is the noun.
So any verb should work...
3<\1 2 3 4 5
┌─────┬─────┬─────┐
│ 1 2 3 │ 2 3 4 │ 3 4 5 │
└─────┴─────┴─────┘
3{.\1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3
Hmmm.. why didn't that last one work? Wait! I think I know...
3{."1\1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3
Nope,
3{."0\1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3
2 3 4
3 4 5
Yes! I'm not exactly sure why, but that's another way to achieve the same
result that I was originally trying for.
