Re: APL lambda question

[Dr . Jürgen Sauermann]

Hi Hendrik,

as far as I remember: in GNU APL a lambda is pretty much a regular 
defined function.
A nomadic lambda is simply a dyadic lambda which test for the presence 
for its left
argument (read: ⎕NC lambda = 2).Tour tryit needs to check that before ⍺ 
is referenced).

Best Regards,
Jürgen

To all APLers:  In GNU APL, is there any way to define an ambivalent 
lambda?  I.e., if you define a lambda

    tryit←{...}

is there any way to make it work with both

    tryit 1

and

    1 tryit 2

The Net has been unhelpful...

Thanks
