Good example of pattern programming

it nicely. For u`v/ rolling result is needed.
First I got a direct result
(3 (-~ ,~ [) 5) p. (i.@>:%]) 10
3 3.2 3.4 3.6 3.8 4 4.2 4.4 4.6 4.8 5
made it tacit with multiple arguments
((],-)~/@}: p. (i.@>:%])@{:) 3 5 10
3 3.2 3.4 3.6 3.8 4 4.2 4.4 4.6 4.8 5
and then fitted into the u`v/ pattern:
(p. i.@>: % ])~`(],-)/@|. 3 5 10
3 3.2 3.4 3.6 3.8 4 4.2 4.4 4.6 4.8 5
