a. It would be useful to compile a list of the cases where you feel J primitives return results that differ from what "IEEE support" would provide. For example:
0. 0%0 1. tolerant comparison etc. b. One possible approach for a programming language to take is, for the arithmetic primitives, just return what the hardware produces. For example, 1234567890 + 2223334440 would be a negative integer rather than the 64-bit floating point number 3.4579e9. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
