Called [[dyad|dyadically]] with function operands <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>f</syntaxhighlight> and <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>g</syntaxhighlight>, it uses <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>f</syntaxhighlight> [[monad|monadically]] to pre-processes the left argument before applying <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>g</syntaxhighlight> between the pre-processed left argument and the given right argument. <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>X f⍛g Y</syntaxhighlight> is thus equivalent to <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>(f X) g Y</syntaxhighlight>. The operator can be defined as the [[dop]] <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>{(⍺⍺ ⍺) ⍵⍵ ⍵}</syntaxhighlight>. This dyadic definition matches the [[hook]] function Before, represented as <code>⊸</code> in [[BQN]]. | ||
Unlike Before, the [[monad]]ic case of Reverse Compose has differed across implementations. When introduced by [[Extended Dyalog APL]], <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>f⍛g Y</syntaxhighlight> evaluated to <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>g Y</syntaxhighlight>, but the later Dyalog APL Vision | Unlike Before, the [[monad]]ic case of Reverse Compose has differed across implementations. When introduced by [[Extended Dyalog APL]], <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>f⍛g Y</syntaxhighlight> evaluated to <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>g Y</syntaxhighlight>, but the later [[Dyalog APL Vision]], and [[Kap]], define it to be <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>(f Y) g Y</syntaxhighlight>, matching Before.

In [[dzaima/APL]] the monadic case is simply an error. | ||

It can also be combined with Beside to create the [[split-compose]] construct. Here, we take the [[sign]] of the left argument and apply it to (that is, multiply it with) the absolute value of the right argument: | It can also be combined with Beside to create the [[split-compose]] construct.
