The cell size defines what a cell is.
well, an example would help me here. let's assume you have
a rank-3 array:
q =: i. 4 5 6
"J for C" says that "The term cell is used to indicate the rank of the
elements that will be operated on."
so, in our example q[2] (I dont know j's syntax for indexing... q { 2 failed)
would yield a rank-2 array to be operated on.
q[2][3] would yield a rank-1 array to be operated on
How does cell size fit into my discussion above? And shouldn't the
author of this text define this term?
In other words, the size of a cell would be the number of
(trailing) dimensions that make up a cell.
ok, continuing: q[2] leaves 2 dimensions for the cell.
1 - I dont know what is trailing about those dimensions
2 - I think the proper term is axes, not dimensions
If you limit yourself to this quote, you could also think of
the size of a cell as the list of dimensions which make up
the cell.
Ok, the list of dimensions? You dont mean the shape - the magnitude of the axes?
What do you mean by list of dimensions? Can you provide an example
based on the array I have been using?
