Hi, all!
I'm a newbie trying to understand Factor.
Today I wrote a function called ndrop. The idea is that if you have nine

Here's my attempted solution:
USING: kernel math ;
IN: ndrop
! Drop n items from the stack

Hello, Jon!
Thank you, you've explained a lot!
It's funny that I stumbled into this on my second day of experimentation.

you I'm now aware of it. Unfortunately, the documentation is too terse for me
to understand
Feel free to ask more questions on the mailing list, or through a Github
Issue if you'd like some help.
