[Jprogramming] Function programming

[Ralph G Selfridge]

In the argument about tacit or explicit I offer the following verb, comes 
from a Black-Scholes algorithm. Lets assume we have the verb cndn. I won't 
claim I can't make this tacit, I will claim it won't be easy and or 
readable and far more work than I think its worth. And I doubt it will run 
any faster.

bsn=: 3 : 0
's x t r v'=.y
|(s,x*^-r*t)-/ .*cndn 1 _1*/~((^.s%x)+t*r(+,-)-:*:v)%v*%:t
)
