[Jprogramming] monad vs. dyad

[Geoff Canyon]

Thanks -- this was very puzzling until I realized (a little bit of)  
what was going on. From my tests it seems that it's always safe to  
cap the fork, so I can do this:

f=:[: <"0 (>:i.7)*] NB. note the 7 instead of the 6

and it will work. So whenever I'm using a mondadic verb I should cap  
it to be on the safe side, even if I think it will have an odd number  
of arguments. Would you agree?

regards

Geoff
