That's an interesting point: vocalizing forks and hooks. As in avg=: +/ % # Average is the quotient of sum and length.
Longer fork train conforms with this convention, (32 + 9r5 * ]) 36.6 97.88 Fahrenheit is sum of 32 and product of 9/5 and the argument. Whereas in capped fork, there is no "first part and", just "of the other part". As in freq=: [: % # Frequency is the reciprocal of [.. and] length. (We omit the brackated part.) Now with that convention, we read f=: [: %: [: +/ *: f is root of sum of squares. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Possible this illustrates the "right to left" thinking a little more: > > f=: [: %: [: +/ *: > > f 3 4 > 5 > > Linda > > In a message dated 4/10/2006 7:56:55 PM Eastern Daylight Time, > [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > > > Length is "root" of the "sum" of "squares" > > > > %: +/ *: 3 4 > > 5 > > > > len=: %: @ +/ @: *: > > len 3 4 > > 5 > > > > or "sum" "under" "square" > > > > +/ &.: *: 3 4 > > 5 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
