There was a prior question about golfing an HQ9+ compiler that translates HQ9+ code into the language it is written in, but that was closed as a duplicate of the interpreter challenge because converting an interpreter to a compiler is seen as trivial.

Sometimes I see a claim like "80% of respondents agreed" and I think "what was your sample size? 5?" because, of course, with a sample size of 5 it's possible to get 80% to agree on something. If the claim is "47% of respondents agreed" then I know it must be a larger sample size.[1]

What general tips do you have for golfing in Uiua?
I'm looking for ideas that can be applied to code golf problems in general that are specific to Uiua. (e.g. "remove comments" would not be an answer.)
Please post one tip per answer.

In this challenge you are asked to find in how many ways we can express a positive integer n as the sum of two positive integers k and the reverse of k.
Here is an example using n = 1069 :
188 + 881 = 1069
287 + 782 = 1069
386 + 683 = 1069
485 + 584 = 1069
980 + 89 = 1069
So, the answer here would be 5.

I found another sequence not yet in the OEIS
The binary expansion sequence is defines as follows, assuming 0 indexing:
The even numbers of the sequence are how often 0 has appeared in the binary expansion of all previous items in the sequence
The odd elements are the same, but for 1s.
If you choose to 1-index, revers... |
