kdb: convert 1x1 table to an atom

Question

How do I convert a table to an atom? I have a 1x1 table with a header. I want to get rid of the header and just have the number so that I do things like anotherTable*thisNumber and so on.

I've tried:

(raze raze tableName) 

but this gives me: enlist 10.5, how do I get 10.5 (as a number)?

Answer 1

q)t:([] head:enlist 1)
q)t
head
----
1
q)first exec head from t
1
q) // or the shortest way 
q)t[`head]0
1
q)type first exec head from t
-7h
q)100*first exec head from t
100

q)first t`head
1
q)raze/[t]0
1

Answer 2

Think you can use over and indexing to do this:

q)raze/[([]a:1#1)]0
1

Answer 3

For Ryan example:

       t:([] head:enlist 1)

We can also simply do,

        first t`head
