    In the code above backticks have been swallowed by WP. It was meant as zaphod and zaphodbeeblebrox.

    Fellow student and complete beginner here.

    In -11h, 11 means your data is a symbol and – means its an atom. A type num code of (positive) 11 would have meant a symbol list, here you have a symbol atom (one value). The h show that the value that you get back as the type’s numerical code is a long.

    q)type ``zaphod
    -11h
    q)type ``zaphod``beeblebrox
    11h

    (I would rewatch the data type and cast videos if that remain unclear).

    Happy hacking!
