It's not wrong, though it might not be complete. If you follow the link, the Strong Typing page matches J's type system. Of course, J's type system is also dynamic, but wikipedia does not have a page on dynamic typing (it's a subsection of the general page on types). Anyways, adding "dynamic" with an appropriate link would probably be a good thing. But here's an illustration of why J's type system is strong, rather than weak: 1+'1' |domain error > I didn't bother to research what contributor thought J and its users > were "prone to code obfuscation". I think that that comment should be removed (and marked "controversial" if it comes back). -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
