Stages of denial

[Steve Graham]

Read an interesting post in defense of K:  https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22504106

It ends with "Leaning back in your chair, you think to yourself:  |/

I am unfamiliar with "|/" and searching through the help told me that | is MAX or OR and | is one of these:

/  over dyad    +/1 2 3  or 4+/1 2 3    */1+!5

/  over monad   apply until fixed    f/x    (%[;2.0])/9999.0

/  over monad   apply n times      n f/x    4 (2+)/0

/  over monad   apply while true   b f/x    {x<10} {x+1}/ 3

/  over         {x+y+z}/[1 2 3;4;7 8 9]  f/[x;y;z]

/  join         ","/("a";"b")

Trying it on various arguments also did not solve the matter:

  |/1 5 9

9

  4|/1 5 9

9

  4 2|/ 5 9

9 9

  4 2|/ 1 5 9

9 9

Any idea what "|/" might mean in that context?

Thanks, Steve

You pretty much had it -- it's max-over: the max of 1 5 9 is 9, and 9 is also the max in those cases where 4 or 2 are in the mix. The other cases are evaluated slightly differently, because there's a left argument for the adverb. Somebody else could probably explain the / adverb behavior better.

It's MAX/OR because over a boolean domain (0, 1) logical-or and max are equivalent.

Hope that helps,

Scott
