@AlexanderBelopolsky can an anonymous function call itself recursively in k7?

@chrispsn I think it’s nyi at the moment. Why don’t you ask on the googlegroup?

@AlexanderBelopolsky Done

It looks like

r:{[f;a;x]$[x~*a;a 1;f[0][x;r[f;a]f[1]x]]}

in the log shows how to call f recursively.

r[{..}] ..

not sure how to make it work though.

@AlexanderBelopolsky Right. I had assumed it was showing how to call a named function recursively
calling a named function recursively seems to work k7contrib.gitlab.io/docs/#func

@chrispsn there's the y combinator :)
chrispsn
chrispsn
@ngn never got my head around that one...

Y:{x x}{x{x[x]y}y}@; Y[{[f;x] $[x;x*f x-1;1]}]5
Y[f] makes f pass itself as its own first arg

@ngn how good are implicit args! Reading that makes it much more understandable

wasn't there "o" in some version of k for a self call?
chrispsn

@ktye oK has that, and they used to have .z.f in k7
ktye

@chrispsn i use o for self call with lexical scope and ∇ for tail call: github.com/ktye/i/blob/master/e.go#L96

@ktye why ∇? does that symbol have that meaning in general use?

.z.s you mean ? .z.f is file argument in k7 (and k4)
turns out, .z.s is now 'seconds' in k7..

@juanez it definitely used to be .z.f in k7. See an old iteration of \h here: reddit.com/r/apljk/comments/b1l5hi/comment/…

hmm, are the google-group messageboard posts being screened before publishing?
