Definition df-2nd

Description: Define a function that extracts the second member, or ordinate, of an ordered pair. Theorem op2nd proves that it does this. For example, ( 2nd<. 3 , 4 >. ) = 4 . Equivalent to Definition 5.13 (ii) of Monk1 p. 52 (compare op2nda and op2ndb ). The notation is the same as Monk's. (Contributed by NM, 9-Oct-2004)
