K7 Tutorial

K7 Tutorial

Since 1992, Arthur Whitney’s k and its derivatives
have served a small number of highly skilled (and highly paid) programmers
to create high performance applications for finance and other implementation efforts in other languages such as C++ and
Java (and to a lesser extent Python) often involve thousands
of lines of code, much of it built on top of libraries,
the typical k applications is on the order of scores of lines of code
without the need for libraries. Readers who are already familiar with a previous version
of k may wish to skim the tutorial or add to the examples. Section 1: Array Power

1) Much of the expressiveness of k7 derives from
the fact that most operations that operate
on single values (scalars) generalize nicely to arrays.
