++reel

Right fold

Right fold: moves right to left across a list a, recursively slamming a binary gate b with an element from a and an accumulator, producing the final value of the accumulator.

(To "slam" means to call a gate and give it a sample/samples. In this instance, a is the list of samples that are given to the gate b.)

The initial value of the accumulator is the bunt of b's second argument (+<+). This can occasionally produce undesired behavior (see examples). If you need more control over the initial value, try making use of $_ and |:, or perhaps +spin or +spun.

Accepts

a is a list.

b is a binary gate.

Produces

The accumulator, which is a noun.

++ reel

15
> (reel `(list @)`[6 3 1 ~] sub)
4
> (reel `(list @)`[3 6 1 ~] sub)
! subtract-underflow
! exit

+mul's default sample is 1, so calling +reel with +mul yields the expected behavior:

> *mul
1
> (reel `(list @)`~[1 2 3 4] mul)
24

However, if you build a gate that uses +mul like so, the sample defaults to 0 since that is the bunt of @:

> (reel `(list @)`~[1 2 3 4] |=([a=@ b=@] (mul a b)))
0

We can fix this with |::

> (reel `(list @)`~[1 2 3 4] |:([a=1 b=1] (mul a b)))
24

If you check the definition of +mul, you'll see that it also utilizes this pattern.

We can check explicitly what sequence of operations +reel performs like this:

> =f |: [l='e_l' r='e_r']
^- @t
:((cury cat 3) '(' l '*' r ')')
> (reel "abcde" f)
'(a*(b*(c*(d*(e*e_r)))))'

++roll

Left fold

Left fold: moves left to right across a list a, recursively slamming a binary gate b with an element from the list and an accumulator, producing the final value of the accumulator.

(To "slam" means to call a gate and give it a sample/samples. In this instance, a is the list of samples that are given to the gate b.)

The initial value of the accumulator is b's second argument (+<+). This can occasionally produce undesired behavior (see examples). If you need more control over the initial value, try making use of $_ and |:, or perhaps +spin or +spun.

> (roll `(list @)`[1 3 6 ~] sub)
q=4

+mul's default sample is 1, so calling +roll with +mul yields the expected behavior:

> *mul
1
> (roll `(list @)`~[1 2 3 4] mul)
24

However, if you build a gate that uses +mul like so, the sample defaults to 0 since that is the bunt of @:

> (roll `(list @)`~[1 2 3 4] |=([a=@ b=@] (mul a b)))
0

We can fix this with |::

> (roll `(list @)`~[1 2 3 4] |:([a=1 b=1] (mul a b)))
24

If you check the definition of +mul, you'll see that it also utilizes this pattern.

We can check explicitly what sequence of operations +roll performs like this:

^- @t
:((cury cat 3) '(' l '*' r ')')
