Bind () is a primitive operator. It shares the glyph Jot () with Beside; in many dialects the two operators share the name Compose. means Bind if any operand is an array. Its derived functions can only be called monadically.

Called with an array left operand A and function right operand g, (A∘g) X is equivalent to A g X.

Called with a function left operand f and array right operand B, (f∘B) X is equivalent to X f B.

Common usage

Bind is used to create a derived function with a single constant argument, particularly in tacit programming:
