Where did the 9 come from? Looks like 9 : is a new type of explicit
definition. Will it be documented?
Also how are we to interpret the line number? Looks like the error was on
line 2.
xxx=:'outer'
test=:3 : 0
ret=.'middle'
xxx=.'inner' {{ret=.y;xxx }}xxx
ret
)
test ''
|domain error: test
| xxx=.'inner' (9 :'ret =. y ; xxx')xxx
|[-7]
NB. Added line feeds and it works properly.
xxx=:'outer'
test=:3 : 0
ret=.'middle'
xxx=.'inner'
{{
ret=.y;xxx
}} xxx
ret
)
test ''
middle
test
