|
|
|
+(1;"a";3%2) / so far, we've seen ints, chars and floats
|
|
|
+@'(1;"a";3%2) / with scalar types `i, `c and `f
|
|
|
+ / Hmm... What is `i?
|
|
|
+@`i / A new type! `s represents the symbol type
|
|
|
+@`symbol / Symbols are basically scalar strings. In particular are used to represent types.
|
|
|
+@"symbol" / Remember vector types are represented with upper case letters. This is a vector of `c elements.
|
|
|
+#`symbol
|
|
|
+#"symbol"
|
|
|
+@`i`c`f / Vectors of symbols can be represented by listing them one after another
|
|
|
+ / This is sometimes called "stranding". Stranding is only possible for homogenous types
|
|
|
+@1 2 3 5 / This is why vectors of integers can simply be listed one after another
|
|
|
+@(`i;`c;`f) / Of course explicit array notation is still possible
|
|
|
+@@'(1;"a";3%2)
|
|
|
+@'(1 2;"ab";3%2 1;`i`c)
|
|
|
+1 0.3 2 / There is some magic here and there. Here the ints are "promoted" to floats
|
|
|
+1 2 3+4 5 6 / Also, it's worth explicitly noting that stranding binds tighter than any of the verbs
|
|
|
+(1;2;3+4;5;6) / This is something different.
|
|
|
+1 2,(3+4),5 6 / You could also make this by building it up with the verb concat.
|
|
|
+ / The parentheses are necessary because of right to left evaluation
|
|
|
+@(1;"a";3%2) / Before we get too far away it's also worth noting that @ operates on the whole array
|
|
|
+ / This is a single type known as a "mixed array" and is represented by `A
|
|
|
+@'(1;"a";3%2) / "each" is needed to operate on each element
|
|
|
+#'(1 2;"abcd";3%2 1;`i`c`s`A`C) / similar to length
|
|
|
+#(1 2;"abcd";3%2 1;`i`c`s`A`C)
|
|
|
+ / Over time you get used to which functions do this and which ones "permeate".
|
|
|
+ / i.e. operate on each element naturally like + or *
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ / Let's introduce one more type: dictionaries
|
|
|
+`a`b`c!3 4 5 / Dictionaries act like association lists and created with dyadic ! operating on two lists of equal length
|
|
|
+!`a`b`c!3 4 5 / Monadic ! on a dictionary returns the keys of the dictionary
|
|
|
+.`a`b`c!3 4 5 / Monadic . on a dictionary returns the values of the dictionary
|
|
|
+(`a`b`c!3 4 5)[`b] / Indexing can be used to extract the value associated with a given key
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ / It's probably best to start introducing some programming basics before moving on
|
|
|
+d:`a`b`c!3 4 5 / : is used for assigning to a variable (We told you colon had more tricks!)
|
|
|
+d / See? (This tutorial is running in a single session so this variable is still visible.)
|
|
|
+d[`b] / That looks nicer. We've extrated the value out of the dictionary d associated with the key `b
|
|
|
+ / It may worth noting that variables are not symbols and not strings. They use no punctuation.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+i123:1 2 3 / You can use numbers in the name but initial character must be a letter
|
|
|
+i123[1]
|
|
|
+i123@1 / Remember that you can use @ to index into an array
|
|
|
+d@`c / Or even for looking up in a dictionary
|
|
|
+i123 1 / You can also just list the two next to each other! (This is *not* stranding!)
|
|
|
+d`c / You don't even need a space when it's not ambiguous
|
|
|
+i123: / Variables don't go away, but you can (re)assign them to "nothing" if you want to free memory
|
|
|
+i:1 2 3 / Different variable
|
|
|
+i 1 / Here we need a space because i1 would be a(n undefined!) variable name.
|
|
|
+d:`a`b`a!3 4 5 / Dictionaries can be weird. You can repeat keys.
|
|
|
+d`a / Only the first one is found with lookup
|
|
|
+(!d;.d) / But both original lists are still in the keys and values
|
|
|
+ / BTW, there is no "iter". Keys and values must be extracted separately
|
|
|
++(!d;.d) / Remember "flip"? This gets the list of key/value pairs
|
|
|
+(.d)(!d)?`a / This is basically what dictionary lookups do...
|
|
|
+(!d)?`a / This extracts the keys and then uses "find" to find the index of the key
|
|
|
+(.d)@(!d)?`a / This extracts the values and uses the previously found index to index into the array
|
|
|
+(.d)(!d)?`a / But because there's no ambiguity (really!) you don't need the @ here. It's not stranding so it's indexing.
|
|
|
+ / The parentheses are needed because of right to left evaluation.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ / More programming basics ... and a new type! lambdas!
|
|
|
+f:{x} / Lambdas are formed with curly braces. This takes a single arg (x) and returns it.
|
|
|
+(f[1];f[`a];f[3%2]) / The lambda can be applied to arguments with brackets similar to array indexing
|
|
|
+(f@1;f@`a;f@3%2) / Or with @ ..
|
|
|
+(f 1;f`a;f 3%2) / Or even just juxtaposition ..
|
|
|
+f'(1;`a;3%2) / lambdas take adverbs just like verbs do
|
|
|
+{x+y}[2;3] / Brackets are (generally) necessary when supplying more than one arg
|
|
|
+f / Also, lambdas don't have to be assigned to a variable the way f was
|
|
|
+f:{x+y};f[1;2];f[3;4] / A semicolon can separate multiple statements on a line. Only the output of the last is printed
|
|
|
+f:{x+y};f[1;2]; / A trailing semicolon means the last statement was an "empty statement" and so nothing is printed
|
|
|
+{a:x+y;2*a}[1;3] / Multiple statements can of course be used inside a lambda as well
|
|
|
+ / Kind of difficult to demonstrate in this format, but the semicolon can be replaced by a newline
|
|
|
+ / only if the following line begins with at least one space.
|
|
|
+ / E.g. {a:x+y
|
|
|
+ / 2*a}
|
|
|
+ / But this also means that the closing brace must be on the last line with a statement
|
|
|
+ / In this example {a:x+y
|
|
|
+ / 2*a
|
|
|
+ / }
|
|
|
+ / The last line is an empty statement and so prints nothing.
|
|
|
+{x*y+z}[2;3;4] / Functions can use up to three implicit arguments which have the names x, y and z
|
|
|
+f:{x+y}[2] / If fewer args are supplied than required, a "projection" is formed
|
|
|
+@'({x};{x+y}[2]) / Projections are actually a different type, but this doesn't come up that often
|
|
|
+f'3 4 5 / Projections basically "curry" the supplied argument
|
|
|
+{[a;b;c;d]a+b*c-d} / More than three arguments requires explicit argument declaration with brackets
|
|
|
+{[x;y]x+y}[2;3] / This can get noisy for simple stuff which is why implicit args exist
|
|
|
+{2*y}[1;3] / If you use an implicit y then the function takes (at least) two arguments, three if there is a z.
|
|
|
+{2*y}[7] / This is a projection
|
|
|
+{2*y}[7]@6 / When called, passes the argument to y
|
|
|
+f:+ / BTW, verbs can be assigned to variables too
|
|
|
+f[2;3] / But in this form must use bracket indexing instead of infix notation
|
|
|
+@f / Verbs have a different type as well
|
|
|
+@f:@ / Assignment can also happen inline. This assigns f and then takes its type. (@ is also a verb!)
|
|
|
+:[123;451] / Colon is also a (dyadic) verb which returns its second argument.
|
|
|
+ / .. but is weird because it's hard to parse which of its various forms is meant in the code
|
|
|
+:i:1 2 3 / Here it's used monadically(??) to return the value assigned to i
|
|
|
+123:456 / Here it's used dyadically to return the right argument
|
|
|
+:i:1 2 3 / This form is often useful when debugging code.
|
|
|
+@f:{x}' / Derived lambdas are yet another type
|
|
|
+f(1;"a";3%2;`b)
|
|
|
+g:+; 5 g/1 2 3 / Derived lambdas actually can be used infix
|
|
|
+g:+/; 5 g 1 2 3 / But only with explicit modifiers. This doesn't work.
|
|
|
+g:+; 5g/1 2 3 / Actually here the space before the g here is not necessary
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ / What haven't we covered?...
|
|
|
+<"hello world" / grade! grade returns the indices in an order which sorts the input
|
|
|
+s@<s:"hello world" / (Remember we can do assignment inline)
|
|
|
+s@>s / Actually that was grade up, grade down gives the indices which sort the other direction
|
|
|
+ / One subtle point is that this is a "stable ordering"
|
|
|
+> 3 17 9 17 / i.e. indices which point to the same value remain in the same relative order
|

+::("a";98) / :: is the identity function but can be fiddly because of the many uses of :
|
|
|
+(::)"same" / Often it's safest to simply put it in parentheses
|

|
+:: / It has the unique property that when it's the final value on a line it prints nothing

+{~x}_3 0 4 0 0 6 7 / _ becomes "weed out" with a left argument

+{~x}@3 0 4 0 0 6 7 / If we apply the function to the *whole* right argument we see which elements are removed
|
|
|
+(~:)_3 0 4 0 0 6 7 / We don't actually need a lambda, but a few extra considerations pop up without one
|
|
|
+ / First we need to surround the verb with parentheses
|

|
|
|
+ / Technically this makes a *noun* out of the *verb* which is why it isn't applied
|
|
|

|
|
|
+(~:)@3 0 4 0 0 6 7 / Can still test to see which items will be removed
|
|
|
+ / Here we need @ because its left arg is a noun.
|
|
|

|
|
|
+(~#:)@(,"I";"";"am") / Just to emphasize, the filter function is applied to the *whole* right arg
|
|
|
+(~#:')@(,"I";"";"am") / For length, which doesn't "permeate" like not, we'll need each
|
|

+(~#:')_(,"I";"";"am") / to filter out empty strings
|
|
|
+(~~#:')#(,"I";"";"am") / With # (replicate) you can specify which items to keep instead of to remove

+(3!)@1+!9 / Only replicate behaves differently when the function returns non-Booleans
|

+"HI, MOM"[1 4 5] / We talked about using brackets for indexing.

|

+@["HI, MOM";1 4 5;_:] / With a third arg, replaces the values at that index with the (monadic) function applied to the corresponding value
|
|

|
|
|
+@[!5;1 3 4;-;7 8 2] / With a fourth arg, does the same only using a dyadic function using the final argument as the right arguments
|

|

+@[!5;(1;,1);+;(3;,7)] / As are odd structures as long as the shapes match.
|

+disp @[=5;1 2] / Remembering that matrixes are lists of lists, @ simply picks out elements at that top-level list.

+disp m:4 3#!*/4 3 / But sometimes you want to dig deeper than the top-level list
|

|
+disp.[m;2 1;*;3] / Or a fourth
|

+disp.[m;(3 1;0 2)] / Unlike @, when the second argument is a list, coordinates are generated by taking the Cartesian product
|
|
|
+disp 3 1,/:\:0 2

|
|
|
+-2 ! 37 / Before that let's sneak in integer division. This is like modulo but with a negative modulus
|
|
|
+-2 2 !\: 37 / They're paired so that divmod can be calculated like so.
|
|

+ / On to control structures...
|
|
|
++\1+2*!10 / We've seen fold and scan which roll up values of a list with an accumulator.
|
|
|
+{x+y}\1+2*!10 / As a lambda it would look like this. Note that it takes two arguments and that the accumulator is the x argument
|
|
|
+{-2!x}\123678 / What if we tried a "scan" with a function which took only one argument? Like (integer) division by 2?
|
|
|
+ / Instead of scan we get "converges".
|
|
|
+ / I.e. the output gets fed back into the input and applied over and over until it stabilizes.
|

+-2!7
|

+-2!3
|
|
|
+-2!1
|
|
|
+-2!0
|
|
|
+-2!0
|
|

|
|
|
+{-2!x}/123678 / There's also "converge" which doesn't produce intermediate results. (not as good for demonstration purposes, though.)
|

+{4!x+1}/1 / Actually converge also stops, when the input matches the original input. I.e. it detects complete cycles.
|
|

|
|
|
+10{4!x+1}\-1 / A left argument to converges isn't a seed. (That wouldn't make sense.) But if it's an integer, it's a repeat count.
|
|
|

|
|
|
+{~x=3}{4!x+1}\1 / With a function as a left argument, that function is evaluated with each iteration
|

|

+(::){4!x+3}\-1 / The function need not be a lambda. Here we use the identity function.
|

|
+{~x=3}{4!x+1}/1 / Of course there are versions of each of these which do not produce intermediate results
