Hi Ypangalela,
Backtick represents a symbol. In your example the function of $ is to cast (or transform) a string to a symbol – see more examples here https://code.kx.com/q4m3/7_Transforming_Data/#732-creating-symbols-from-strings
and also here https://kx.com/learning/modules/casting/#casting-methodsHope this is helpful/
Thanks,
Michaela
