OK - home again and "solved" this difficulty with extended.  Well, chased it away -
I've no idea _why_ the error arose.

So - in the absence of advice to the contrary,  I ran the prescribed update method,
ie
   load'pacman'
   'upgrade' jpkg 'jengine'

This method had failed when I first ran it to update to beta-i , the failure manifesting itself as an error reported when starting up J902 from its Windows shortcut. That was why I had downloaded the zip file and overwritten my J902 folders with its contents.

However,  running the update in the approved manner worked today. The Windows
JQt shortcut fires up the session without crashing.

Now,  I find
   1%4x      NB. was 0,  yesterday !
1r4
   1x%4x    NB. " " "
1r4

as expected.

Perhaps my attempt on 20/10/20 to overwrite the beta-h installation with files and folders
from the zip-file went wrong somewhere...

Sorry to have raised this hare,  but it was a real anomaly yesterday!

Bob & Joey’s results are encouraging.  I wonder if my problem with 1%2x giving 
0 in J902 is something to do with my installation problem for beta-i in Windows 
which I reported a week or so ago.  After the usual pacman update route had 
resulted in a defective j.dll (I think), I downloaded the zip file and overwrote 
the j902 install folders.

When I get home tomorrow, some time after noon GMT, with better WiFi and email 
ability, I’ll try reinstalling unless, in the meantime, anyone else reports the 
same problem, or advises me not to.

Thanks,

Mike

 From the iPad again, it comes down to
    1 % 2x
1r2  NB. In J901, 8, 7 etc
0      NB. in J902
So does extended%extended give rational or not?

I don't get this error.  I am running a post-beta-i development system.

This is the sort of thing I see here on the iPad, and also in J901
However, in J902 beta i, I get (can’t email from Windows just now, so faking 
it!):

My mistake!?

Modern J uses a virtual block for the result of (, y), so now (+/@, y) and (+/ 
, y) run at the same speed.  A different example is needed.

Jan-Pieter,

First, thanks for pointing out the link.
But I am having some problems.

[*******my comment 0) here is likely inappropriate in light of Henry's
reply in this thread
0) Are you suggesting that some wording be added to that link? It looks to
me as if you are but where?
I say where because there are at least 3 different concepts treated on that
page: SC, EIP, and AIP.
]


1) I am finding problems on that page that I cannot explain. For example,
a) on one line discussing EIP the following is stated twice, when it is
clear that the two should be different `(V0@[ V1 V2)` .
b) [this comment may also be explained by Henry's reply but I don't see how]
    I cannot confirm the improvements suggested by the example there.
Perhaps using j807 is the problem. See my session below.

    a =: 1000 1000 ?@$ 0            NB. it is unfortunate that the +/ result

    +/ , a                                        NB. perhaps 1000 1000

I guess this is worth mentioning here:

https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/SpecialCombinations#Assignments_In_Place_.28AIP.29

Assignments are done in place if you use a specific form recognised by the
interpreter.

If you do not assign the result, or use it in a longer sentence, it will
not be recognised, copying over the entire array, rather than updating a
single element.

Best regards,

Jan-Pieter
