Dear all -
Having used Fixed Power (u^:n y) before, I noticed that it works on
the verb-adverb compound to its left.
Let's have a simple, silly example:
nc=. 1 : '[: >: u' NB. defining an adverb 'increase'
+: i. nc 7 NB. which works fine
2 4 6 8 10 12 14
Using Fixed Power like
+: nc ^:1 (7)
15
+: nc ^:2 (7)
31
I do get the expected results (compound is executed once, twice).
Here we have a verb, followed by two adverbs (if I understand correctly).
What I have initially been looking for however, is how to apply the
*same* adverb repeatedly, like
+: nc nc (7)
16
while having the adverb part "nc nc" somehow abbreviated.
What would be a (or the) way to phrase that ?
Thanks.
