  • How does (first”) works?

    Posted by kdb_newbie on June 25, 2023 at 12:00 am

    dict:`a`b`c!((enlist 1; enlist `a);(enlist 2;enlist `b);(enlist 3;enlist `c))
    q)(first”) dict
    a| 1 `a
    b| 2 `b
    c| 3 `c
    q)(first’) dict
    a| 1
    b| 2
    c| 3
    q)

    How does (first”) work, please? And then how would (first”’) work?
    Thank you!
