K Fragments I recently reviewed and digitized my work notebooks from the last four years- about 900 handwritten pages. In the process, I collected a number of short K fragments which solve interesting problems or illustrate idioms. Most of these I personally “discovered”, but in some cases I later found find prior art elsewhere on the internet. This provides a nice illustration of how crystalline K programs can be: presented with the same problem, two programmers are surprisingly likely to arrive at character-for-character identical solutions. Since these were mostly composed at work, many are k3-based. I have annotated which fragments work in several dialects. Accumulator Generator (oK only) In oK, dyadic .
