In the console, typing a single verb without parameters will print its content:
tolower
3 : 0
x=. I. 26 > n=. ((65+i.26){a.) i. t=. ,y
($y) $ ((x{n) { (97+i.26){a.) x}t
)
That's nice for development, but unexploitable during execution. Is there a way to do that dynamically? Is there a verb that can return the contents of another verb?
For example:
showverb 'tolower'
or
showverb tolower
