Hello Clifford,
thank you very much for your quick reply! By working through your
examples, I got a better understanding, I think. Probably my description
is terminologically weak, but now I would describe my understanding of
the to-sentence like this:
1. The i~ is used to generate the vectors (i. y) and (i. x).
2. The less-primitive is used to remove (i. x) from (i. y), giving a
result of x..y-1.
3. Finally the ,] is applied to add the upper limit, provided as the
parameter y, to the result.
Is this, what the to-sentence is supposed to do?
Kind regards,
Thomas
