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 On 9/25/06, Randy MacDonald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
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' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |\/| Randy A MacDonald | APL: If you can say it, it's done..
