Thanks. Saw an entire section on symbolic computation later...

I am unable to get an on-line version of "An Implementation of J'". Do you
have a link or copy that I could use?

Regards,
YUva

Yuva;

Hopefully Roger will answer this more fully, but I saw an extensive set of
test scripts when I read "An Implementation of J" These scripts preceded
the
whole XP/TDD memes by at least half a decade.

Symbolic computation, to me at least, seems almost an exercise for the
reader:

'a' solvefor 'a+10=20'  NB. given a+10=20, solve for a.
'x' solvefor 'x^2+y^2=25';'y=3'
