In English, a gerund is a noun that carries the force of
a verb, as does the noun cooking in the art of cooking.
The tie applies to two verbs to produce a gerund.
Gerunds are commonly used with Insert (/) and
with Agenda (@.):
|
]g=: +`*
+-+-+
|+|*|
+-+-+
(g/1 2 3 4 5) ; (1+2*3+4*5)
+--+--+
|47|47|
+--+--+
More generally, tie produces gerunds as follows: u`v
is au,av , where au and av
are the (boxed noun) atomic representations
(5!:1) of u
and v .
Moreover, m`n is m,n and m`v
is m,av and u`n is au,n .
See Bernecky and Hui [12].
Gerunds may also be produced directly by boxing. Thus:
]h=: '+' ; '*'
+-+-+
|+|*|
+-+-+
h/1 2 3 4 5
47
The atomic representation of a noun (used so as to
distinguish a noun such as '+' from the verb +)
is given by the following function:
(ar=: [: < (,'0')"_ ; ]) '+'
+-----+
|+-+-+|
||0|+||
|+-+-+|
+-----+
*`(ar '+')
+-+-----+
|*|+-+-+|
| ||0|+||
| |+-+-+|
+-+-----+
