Pick () is a dyadic primitive function which performs deep indexing on a possibly nested array. Pick allows to extract a value through multiple layers of nesting in a single function application. Pick uses the Right Shoe glyph.

Examples

The left argument X must be a vector where each element of X specifies the multi-dimensional index at each layer of the right argument Y. The result of X⊃Y is the item of Y at the location specified by X.
