Now, a challenge/puzzle: write a tacit adverb (lrv) that produces the linear representation of its input verb (bonus points for a fixed version), for example,
type lrv type type f. lrv {&(<;._1 '|invalid name|not defined|noun|adverb|conjunction|verb|unknown')@(2&+)@(4!:0)&(<^:(L. = 0:)) SPOILER ALERT: A Solution is presented below... Another challenge is to evade the linear representation persistent bug to show the adverb: lrv=. (".(0 : 0) -. LF)`:6 (<(<,'4'),<(<(<,'4'),<(<(<,'4'),<(<(<,'4'),<<;._1 ' 0: :.'),<(<,'4'),<(<,'`'),<( <,'0'),<(<'b.'),<(,'0');_1),<(<,'4'),<(<'`:'),<(,'0');6),<(<,'4'),<(<(<,'4'),<(< (<,'4'),<(<(<,'4'),<(<(<,'4'),<(<(<,'4'),<(<,'"'),<(,'0');_),<(<,'4'),<(<(<'@:') ,<(<,'<'),<(<,'3'),<(<<;._1 ' 0 0'),(<(<,'&'),<;:',<'),<,']'),<'@:'),<(<,'4'),<( <,'`'),<(<,'0'),<<(,'0');_),<(<,'4'),<(<'`:'),<(,'0');6),<(<,'4'),<(<(<,'&'),<(< (,'0');_5),<'}.'),<,'`'),<(<,'4'),<(<'`:'),<(,'0');6) ) lrv (((0: :.)(`(b.`_1)))(`:6))(((((("_)(<@:((,'0') ,&< ])@:))(`_))(`:6))(_5&}.`))(`:6)) type lrv type type f. lrv {&(<;._1 '|invalid name|not defined|noun|adverb|conjunction|verb|unknown')@(2&+)@(4!:0)&(<^:(L. = 0:)) Oh yes, I cheated! I used b. _1 to get the linear representation of the adverse of the adverse of the input verb. The code of the adverb can be shorter; most of it is related to (_5&}.) dropping 5 trailing characters (':. 0:') but it illustrates how to tacitly transform a verb into its corresponding adverb. A direct, non-cheating, version is possible but quite more difficult (as far as I can see). ________________________________________ From: programming-boun...@jsoftware.com [programming-boun...@jsoftware.com] on behalf of Dan Bron [j...@bron.us] Sent: Monday, February 20, 2012 11:02 AM To: 'Programming forum' Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] tacit adverb > A=: 1 : '0&(;@:u) :: empty' Can be expressed tacitly as B=: 0&(;@:) (:: empty) . In general, tacit adverbs are trains of adverbial clauses, so if you want to add another, you only need to wrap it in parens and tack it on the end. Though your phrasing 0&(;@:) is very appealing; it seems to "beg for an argument" more than the vanilla formulation of (0&) (;@:) . -Dan -----Original Message----- From: programming-boun...@jsoftware.com [mailto:programming-boun...@jsoftware.com] On Behalf Of David Ward Lambert Sent: Monday, February 20, 2012 10:50 AM To: programming Subject: [Jprogramming] tacit adverb I had A=: 0&(;@:) u A y My u raises an error if y is bad, in which case EMPTY is a reasonable result.
