∘

Beside (∘), Compose or After is a primitive operator. It shares the glyph ∘ with Bind. Called dyadically with function operands f and g, it uses g monadically to pre-processes the right argument before applying f to the given left argument and pre-processed right argument. Called monadically with operands f and g, it applies f to the result of applying g to the argument.

In usage, X f∘g Y is equivalent to X f g Y, and f∘g Y is equivalent to f g Y. Thus, beside can be defined as the dop {⍺←⊢ ⋄ ⍺ ⍺⍺ ⍵⍵ ⍵}.

Examples

When used monadically, f∘g behaves the same as an atop: 

      -∘÷ 2 
¯0.5
      ⍝ same as
      -(÷2)
¯0.5

When used dyadically, f∘g forms a dyadic hook: 

      'oy'≡∘⌽'yo'
1
      ⍝ same as
      'oy'≡⌽'yo'
1

When used monadically with Commute, f∘g forms a monadic hook: 

      ≡∘⌽⍨'UwU'
1
      ⍝ same as this, because operators are left-associative, unlike functions which are right-associative
      'UwU'(≡∘⌽)⍨'UwU'
1
      ⍝ same as
      'UwU'≡⌽'UwU'
