[Jprogramming] Why the length error?

[Linda Alvord]

I have no trouble with  /B  so I guess the problem is just writing adverbs.

Raul has already shown how to use under but here is my original one using it too:
   rad=: (#~ [: -. 0 , 2 -:/\ ])&.|: :: ]

However I like the ifany approach better in this case
   rad=: (#~ [: -. 0 , 2 -:/\ ])&.|: ifany
   rad B

The reason that ( ifany B ) gives a syntax error is because ifany is an adverb not a verb and therefore expects a verb to its left.
   type 'ifany'
┌──────┐
│adverb│
└──────┘

You will get the same error if you execute ( / B )
