[Jprogramming] Question about dyadic verb composition

[Rob Hodgkinson]

Also perhaps a gerund reduction approach, but you would need to replicate the arguments …

   7 ([ + [ - [ * ]) 5
_21


   +`-`*/7 7 7 5
_21

You could wrap this in a function also to do the replication based on $gerund.

   foo
4 : ' r=:x/(($x),1)#y'

   (+`-`*) foo 7 5
_21

Regards Rob
