+<p>Atop and Over are 2-modifiers that extend the idea of &quot;apply this, then that&quot; in two different ways. They're modelled after the mathematical notation f∘g to compose two functions, and both do the same thing when there's one argument: <code><span class='Function'>F</span><span class='Modifier2'>∘</span><span class='Function'>G</span> <span class='Value'>x</span></code> or <code><span class='Function'>F</span><span class='Modifier2'>β—‹</span><span class='Function'>G</span> <span class='Value'>x</span></code> is <code><span class='Function'>F</span> <span class='Function'>G</span> <span class='Value'>x</span></code>.</p>

+<p>When there are two arguments, we might say Atop treats the right operand <code><span class='Function'>𝔾</span></code> as primary and Over treats <code><span class='Function'>𝔽</span></code> as primaryβ€”the primary operand becomes dyadic while the other is always monadic. Atop applies <code><span class='Function'>𝔾</span></code> directly, making it more like mathematical composition if we suppose that <code><span class='Function'>𝔾</span></code> is a function that can take a pair of arguments. Over instead makes two calls to apply <code><span class='Function'>𝔾</span></code> separately to both arguments, then passes the results to <code><span class='Function'>𝔽</span></code>.</p>
+<h2 id="atop"><a class="header" href="#atop">Atop</a></h2>
+<p>Of the two modifiers on this page, Atop is more common but less impactful. The composition <code><span class='Function'>F</span><span class='Modifier2'>∘</span><span class='Function'>G</span></code> is equivalent to the 2-<a href="train.html">train</a> <code><span class='Function'>F</span> <span class='Function'>G</span></code> (the trains page has hints on when you'd choose one or the other). Its definition <code><span class='Brace'>{</span><span class='Function'>F</span><span class='Value'>𝕨</span><span class='Function'>G</span><span class='Value'>𝕩</span><span class='Brace'>}</span></code> means that <code><span class='Function'>G</span></code> is applied to one or two arguments and <code><span class='Function'>F</span></code> is applied monadically to the result. It could be considered a &quot;default way&quot; to compose two functions. Keeps <a href="tacit.html">tacit</a> programming syntax running smoothly, without making noise about it. Not like that busybody <code><span class='Modifier2'>⊸</span></code>. Some examples:</p>
+<p><code><span class='Function'>↕</span><span class='Modifier2'>∘</span><span class='Function'>β‰ </span></code> is useful with one argument: <code><span class='Function'>↕≠</span><span class='Value'>l</span></code> is a list of indices for <code><span class='Value'>l</span></code>.</p>
+<p><code><span class='Function'>⌊</span><span class='Modifier2'>∘</span><span class='Function'>÷</span></code> is useful with two arguments: <code><span class='Function'>⌊</span><span class='Value'>a</span><span class='Function'>÷</span><span class='Value'>b</span></code> is the integer part when dividing <code><span class='Value'>a</span></code> by <code><span class='Value'>b</span></code>, often paired with the <a href="arithmetic.html#additional-arithmetic">remainder</a> <code><span class='Value'>b</span><span class='Function'>|</span><span class='Value'>a</span></code>.</p>
+<p><code><span class='Function'>βŠ”</span><span class='Modifier2'>∘</span><span class='Function'>⊐</span></code> is useful with one or two arguments. From right to left, we have <a href="selfcmp.html#classify">Classify</a>/<a href="search.html#index-of">Index-of</a> (<code><span class='Function'>⊐</span></code>) to convert values to indices, and <a href="group.html">Group Indices</a> to group the indices. Er, that sounds good but what it <em>actually</em> does is to group indices of Group's argument, which correspond to indices of the original <code><span class='Value'>𝕩</span></code>, according to their values as returned by <code><span class='Function'>⊐</span></code>. Without a left argument, this means indices of <code><span class='Value'>𝕩</span></code> are grouped corresponding to <code><span class='Function'>⍷</span><span class='Value'>𝕩</span></code>, and if <code><span class='Value'>𝕨</span></code> is provided the groups correspond to <code><span class='Value'>𝕨</span></code> instead.</p>

+<p>Once you get used to Over, it's painful to go without it. I'd use it all the time in C if I could.</p>
+<p>Usually Over is used just for the dyadic meaning. If you have a composition that only works with one argument it's typical to write it with Atop (<code><span class='Modifier2'>∘</span></code>). And cases that work with one or two arguments do come up from time to time, but they're fairly rare, so the examples below are just for two arguments.</p>
+<p>A classic is the function <code><span class='Function'>≑</span><span class='Modifier2'>β—‹</span><span class='Function'>∧</span></code>, which tests whether <code><span class='Value'>𝕨</span></code> is a reordering of <code><span class='Value'>𝕩</span></code>. The idea is to sort both arrays with <code><span class='Function'>∧</span></code> to remove the ordering information</p>

+<p>Another example is <code><span class='Function'>/</span><span class='Modifier2'>β—‹</span><span class='Function'>β₯Š</span></code>, used to filter elements in a high-rank array. Alone, <code><span class='Function'>/</span></code> won't do this because there's no automatic choice of ordering for the results. Applying <a href="reshape.html">Deshape</a> (<code><span class='Function'>β₯Š</span></code>) to both chooses index order.</p>
