I now understand, many thanks Elias.

will study this further but I understand the basic principle *with your 
example*.

many thanks,

Xtian.

I'll give it a shot:

*      foo ← {⍺ ⍶ ⍵}*

This defines foo as an operator that applies the function on its two arguments.

I.e. in the following example:
*
*
*      10 +foo 20*
30

The foo operator simply applies + to 10 and 20, returning 30. In other words, ⍶ 
is the function that goes to the left of the operator name.

Similarly, ⍹ is the function that goes on the right of the operator name:

*      bar ← {(⍺ ⍶ 2) ⍹ (⍵ **⍶** 3) }*
*      10 +bar- 20*
¯11

The call to bar results in the following formula being evaluated: (10+2)-(20+3).

Elias

    please explain the principle to a newbie.

    I really want a working examples.

        They are for direct function (operator?) definitions.  Try:

              hook←{⍵⍶⍹⍵}
              +hook÷2
        2.5

            hi,

            in the result of "]help" I can see:


                 λ       { ... } result
                 ⍺       { ... } left value argument
                 ⍵       { ... } right value argument
                 χ       { ... } axis argument
                 ⍶       { ... } left function argument
                 ⍹       { ... } right function argument


            can someone explain to me the usage of ⍶ and ⍹
            with some examples ?

            I understant the first four, but not the last two.

            many thanks,

            Xtian.
