Catalogue {  1 0 _ From

{y forms a catalogue from the atoms of its argument, its shape being the chain of the shapes of the opened items of y . The common shape of the boxed results is $y . For example:
   { 'ht';'ao';'gtw'
+---+---+---+
|hag|hat|haw|
+---+---+---+
|hog|hot|how|
+---+---+---+
+---+---+---+
|tag|tat|taw|
+---+---+---+
|tog|tot|tow|
+---+---+---+
The Cartesian product is readily defined in terms of { , thus:
   CP=: {@(,&<)
   0 1 CP 2 3 4
+---+---+---+
|0 2|0 3|0 4|
+---+---+---+
|1 2|1 3|1 4|
+---+---+---+
  If x is an integer in the range from -n=: #y to n-1 , then x{y selects item n|x from y . Thus:
   2 0 _1 _3 { 'abcdefg'
cage

   t=:3 4$'abcdefghijkl'
   1{t
efgh
More generally, >x may be a list whose successive elements are (possibly) boxed arrays that specify selection along successive axes of y .

Finally, if any r=:>j{>x used in the selection is itself boxed, selection is made by the indices along that axis that do not occur in >r .

Note that the result in the very last dyadic example, that is, (<<<_1){m , is all except the last item.
 

   t=: 3 4 $ 'abcdefghijkl'
   t; (1{t); (2 1{t); (1{"1 t); ((,1){"1 t); (2 1{"1 t)
+----+----+----+---+-+--+
|abcd|efgh|ijkl|bfj|b|cb|
