First, I would write things the simple way. If performance turns out to not be an issue, I would move on. If performance turns out to be an issue then... I might go with an explicit definition, or a reduction, or I might try to find relevant special code, or I might ask for help. But, also, I might try manipulating the problem in its abstract form, to see if I could express the same idea differently. (For example, relatively often, inductive approaches turn out to be equivalent to something like addition, though perhaps in a different domain.) -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
