Linda, Björn has a wonderful answer for your problem as I understood it.
Here is another example. Suppose
f =: 4 : 'x * y'
Then f/ 5 4 3 2 1 is 5 f 4 f 3 f 2 f 1 so
f/ 5 4 3 2 1
120
The following shows the intermediate results
}: f /\. 5 4 3 2 1
120 24 6 2
That is, working f/ 5 4 3 2 1 from right to left, first x is 2 and y is
1 with result 2; next x is 3 and y is 2 with result 6; next x is 4 and y
is 6 with result 24; and finally x is 5 and y is 24 with result 120.
