⍶ is the left argument to a monadic or dyadic operator that takes
a function as an argument AND one or two actual arguments.
⍹ is the right (optional) second argument. Keep in mind that these
can also be data, not just a function.
A couple of other examples:
-foldleft 1 2 3 4 5 <—> 1-(2-(3-(4-5))) <—> ¯2
-foldright 1 2 3 4 5 <—> (((1-2)-3)-4)-5 <—> ¯8
If
foldleft←{⍶/⍵}
then
foldright←{⍶⍨/⌽⍵}
Since
⍶/⍵[1 2 3] <—> ⍵[1] ⍶ ⍵[2] ⍶ ⍵[3] <—> ⍵[1] ⍶ (⍵[2] ⍶ ⍵[3]),
then
⍶⍨/⌽⍵[1 2 3] <—> ⍶⍨/⍵[3 2 1] <—> ⍵[3] ⍶⍨ ⍵[2] ⍶⍨ ⍵[1]
<—> ⍵[3] ⍶⍨ ⍵[1] ⍶ ⍵[2] <—> (⍵[1] ⍶ ⍵[2]) ⍶ ⍵[3]
Derivative:
d←{((⍶⍵+⍺)-⍶⍵)÷⍺}
1E¯7 {⍵*2}d 3 <—> 6.000…
In conventional mathematical notation,
f'(x) = (f(x+h) - f(x)) / h
⍶d ⍵ ⍶ ⍵ ⍺ ⍶ ⍵ ⍺
Basically, the arguments are organised as
⍺ {} ⍵ for functions and ⍺ (⍶ {} ⍹) ⍵ for operators,
where your function/operator is in the {}.
⍺ and ⍵ cannot be functions, but ⍶ and ⍹ can.
⍺ and ⍹ are optional.
