Human: What do you know about the J programming language? AI: I know that J is a concise high-level programming language designed to express complex algorithms in a few lines of code. As a functional programming language, J is well suited for data analysis, statistical computing, and machine learning applications. It has been used by companies like Google and Amazon, as well as many universities and research laboratories.
Human: Is recommended to write tacit programs in the J programming language? AI: Yes, tacit programming is a style of writing code that is favored by many J programmers. This style emphasizes the use of small functions and expressions, which are combined to create larger programs. This allows for concise yet expressive code that is easy to read and understand. Human: Can you give an example of tacit J code? AI: Sure! Here is an example of a tacit J function to find the maximum value in an array: max =: >/@.(>&.) This code finds the maximum value in the array by using two functions: (1) >&. finds the maximum value in each sub-array, and (2) >/ finds the maximum value in the entire array. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
