One thing that really helped me in the beginning was to pronounce K programs properly, i.e. know what the operators are called and read programs to myself. Incidentally that also was the way I approached math in the beginning.<p>For example, the column formatter from <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;t3x.org&#x2F;klong&#x2F;klong-intro.txt.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;t3x.org&#x2F;klong&#x2F;klong-intro.txt.html</a>:<p>(-|&#x2F;{#$x}&#x27;x)$x<p>It is pronounced (Negate Max-Over (Size [of] Format [of] x)-Each x) Format2 x<p>Of course, doing this will not lead to instant enlightenment, but it really helped me understand K.<p>The example from Wikipedia is a bit more challenging. What also complicates things here is that K overloads operators, so it may not be obvious, for instance, that ! means Modulo and not Rotate in that program. That&#x27;s why I started developing Klong in the first place.
