I think you misunderstand the second example. It says: The four 5x6 2-cells are arranged as a vector of 2-cells; this is the meaning of their frame.
Each of the 2-cells (rank 2) cells has shape 5 6. The frame is ,4 . The frame catenated with the cell shape is (,4) catenated with 5 6, or 4 5 6. ----- Original Message ----- From: Terrence Brannon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sunday, April 1, 2007 2:41 pm Subject: [Jgeneral] "J for C Programmers" - the frame, concatenated with the shape of the cells is not equal to the shape of the noun. > <quote href = http://www.jsoftware.com/help/jforc/declarations.htm > > > the frame, concatenated with the shape of the cells, will be equal to > the shape of the noun. > > < / quote > > > However, in the second given example, the frame is 5 6 the shape of > the cells is 4 > Their concatenation is 5 6 4 > > But the shape of the noun is 4 5 6 > > Therefore the concatenation is equal to some permutation of the shape > of the noun but not necessarily equal to the shape of the noun. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
