Maybe something like this? 13 : '25,~y*>:y' 25 ,~ ] * >: (13 : '25,~y*>:y') 3 12 25
These sutras look like shortcuts for doing arithmetic by hand - any reason to automate manual shortcuts? On 6/9/07, Terrence Brannon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I am trying to implement some simple vedic math formulas as shown here http://www.vedamu.org/Mathematics/MathematicalFormulae/Sutras/sutras.asp and sq5 =: (] * (] + 1)) , (*: 5) leads to syntax errors. The implicit one generated by J looks much the same: sq5 =: 3 : '(y * (y+1)) , (*: 5)' sq5 22 506 25 sq5 =: 13 : '(y * (y+1)) , (*: 5)' except is uses flip for some reason... help appreciated. -- HIV/AIDS on trial - http://www.aliveandwell.org/ Let's play chess: http://www.SlowChess.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
