There are two ways, to produce tacitly what you want: the easy (at least for me) wicked way and the hard orthodox way. Life is short; so, I will only show the former. Raul already commented on this method and it involves cloaking adverbs and conjunctions as monadic and dyadic verbs, respectively.

If I understand you correctly, your "adverb" (2j3) is a noun. I'm thinking of an actual adverb. On Thu, Aug 16, 2018 at 4:25 AM, Don Guinn wrote: > Don't need to mess with tie. > > > v1=:+ > > v2=:- > > v3=:% > > av=:2j3 > > (v1,v2,v3)av > > 2j_3 _2j_3 0.153846j_0.230769 > > (v1;v2;v3)av > > +--

Generally speaking, its a good idea to include an illustrative use case with a specification, so let's make up one: Let's say my keyboard is getting worn out, and I have to hit the ` key an arbitrary number of times before it works. So I want to be able to form gerunds without using that key. So,

Yes, I think it was ok to generalise, but I’d missed what they meant by proportionality. So, if I define a different quadruplet, q=: 6 + 7*1 2 5 10 where 1:2 = 5:10, Jose’s function works fine: (-/ .* % -/ .+)@:(2 2&$) q 6 which is the required offset. fwiw, dgcd q. NB. gcd o
