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 use monadically, f∘g behaves the same as function compositian.

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

When use dyadically, f∘g forms a Hook.
