That makes sense, I just recalled that u@v w was applied to the whole of w.

Thanks Henry

My recollection of early J is that @ never had infinite rank, but the arithmetic verbs did. Then the rank of arithmetic verbs was changed to 0, and phrases like

u@+

had to be rewritten as

u@(+"_)

That led to introduction of u@:v to mean (u@(v"_)) .

Thanks everyone,

your comments really cleared things up for me. I really appreciate your efforts to support J-newcomers with such detailed explanations.

Regards,

Thomas
