c}x,y,:z Improved | last updated: 2000-05-10

The phrase`b}x,:y` for numeric`x` and`y` is equivalent to the well-known phrase`(x*b)+y*-.b` .`` Recently, special code has been implemented for the phrase`name=: c}x,y,...,:z` ,`` with boolean`c` as a special case, and the amendment is done in place if`name` is`x` or`y` and`c` is boolean. (In-place amendment is eschewed for integral`c` due to the possibility of index error.)
A time-space comparison is as follows:

       b=: ?(5$10)$2
       x=: o.?($b)$1000
       y=: o.?($b)$1000
       z=: o.?($b)$1000

       c=: ?($b)$3
