Ok, so I think you're after a one line explicit definition.
For example:
suits=: u: 9827 9830 9829 9824
faces=: '23456789TJQKA'
deck=: >,{suits;faces
h=:4 :0
deal=. \:"1~ (|.x) $ ?.~ */x
<"2 deal { y
)
Here, 'deal' is defined on one line and then used on the next line. We
can make this h be a one line explicit definition by taking the
definition of 'deal' and putting that (in parenthesis) on the line
where it's used:
h=:13 :0
<"2 (\:"1~ (|.x) $ ?.~ */x) y
)
But this isn't as readable as I would like.
So, maybe instead, make a 'deal' verb:
deal=: 13 : 0
\:"1~ (|.y) $ ?.~ */y
)
And use that to define h:
h=: 13 :0
<"2 (deal x) { y
)
Note also that if 'deal' itself is too complicated for your audience,
you could break it down into smaller pieces and then walk your
audience through understanding each of those pieces. (I would not
recommend this approach, however, if you don't have time to tutor your
audience. The smaller pieces are more digestible, but you still need a
human involved who is willing to stick through the required trial and
error long enough to reach understanding what's happening here.)
Anyways, now you can use h f. to get a completely tacit definition
(though, granted, a slightly different definition from the original h
definition).
Thanks,
