"Size" is non-normative terms and word "rank" should be used here. What was meant is "size of shape", i.e. number of items in the shape vector. However, to talk about the number of items on the outer-most axis of array, a better word is "length", because it suggests only one dimension. The normative way to say rank is using primitives # Tally of $ Shape.
To know what is the rank of frame, if you pick a given rank of cell, can be determined as rank of result of boxing with the rank of cell: For example, HC=: i.2 3 4 5 NB. hypercube [EMAIL PROTECTED] HC NB. Rank (@ Atop here means "of") 4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] <"0 HC 4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] <"3 HC NB. what is the rank of frame 1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] <"2 HC 2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] <"1 HC 3 [EMAIL PROTECTED] <"4 HC 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] < HC 0 --- Terrence Brannon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > <QUOTE href=http://www.jsoftware.com/help/jforc/declarations.htm> > Once you have picked a cell size, you can think of your noun as an > array of cells; the shape of that array is called the frame of the > noun relative to the chosen rank of cell. > </quote> > > ... however, what is meant by the 'size' of a cell? it's rank? it's > shape? The term size has no prior definition. There is no way to > logically understand this sentence.
