amend

From The K Language Wiki
Amend
@[x;y[;f];z]
@[x;y;f[;z]]

amend is a special form of the @ verb which takes multiple arguments.

Amend takes 3 or 4 arguments, where:

  • x is an array to amend
  • y is the index(or indices) to amend
  • f(optional), is the function to apply to those indices
  • z is the second argument to f

3 argument amend always acts as an element replacement function, since f is : if it is omitted.

x can be a value or a symbol. If given a symbol, amend will modify the variable that is indicated by the symbol.
