Hi all,
Forgive my newbieness,... but what does the following snippet mean (from
some J code that it is now my responsibility to maintain):
if. rtn e.<'NO' do.
I understand "if." And "do.", just not the part in the middle; I assume
it has something to do with testing for equalituy. "rtn" is the value
given by a window interface thingy.
On a related note, I would like to print a string with the value of
return and some text concatenated to it, but the following snippet gives
me a "domain error"
'return value:', rtn 1!:2(2)
I think rtn might be boxed, or something, but I can't figure it out. If
it were a C-ish language, I would be writing "printf("return value: %s",
rtn);".
Finally, if there is a way to unbox a variable, it would be great to
hear about it.
Thanks!
