Over () is a primitive dyadic operator which takes two function operands and produces a derived function which pre-processes the argument(s) using the monadic right operand, before applying the left operand on/between the result(s).

Explanation

When the resulting function is used monadically, it has the same behaviour as if the Beside or Atop operator had been used:

  (g ⍥ h) ⍵
g (h ⍵)

When the resulting function is used dyadically, both arguments are pre-processed:

⍺ (g ⍥ h) ⍵
(h ⍺) g (h ⍵)

Examples

      x←3 1 2
      y←4 6 5
      x +⍥(⌈/) y ⍝ add the max of x and max of y
9
      ⍝ same as
      (⌈/x)+⌈/y
9
