Having recently begun my study of J, I discovered an error in the Primer book. On the page "~addons/docs/help/primer/tacit_definition.htm" the definitions for fahrenheit, fa, fb, fz, and xmean contain references to "y.".
This generates a spelling error. When I look back to the original definition of fahrenheit, there is no "." after the "y" -- Have I missed something? Or is this, as I suspect, simply a syntax error in the book? Thanks for such a great tool! The Geeko ----------------------------------------------------------- *Let me say just how excited -- and grateful! - I am to have been given the opportunity to explore J. 35 years ago I would drool as I occasionally stumbled across articles in "Byte" magazine about APL. Unfortunately, neither my TRS-80 nor my Apple II+ afforded me the opportunity to get my hands into the language. Over these 35 years, I have worked with BASIC, Pascal, FORTRAN, C, C++, Java, Haskell, Lisp, Scala... but have never had the opportunity to fulfill my fantasies of exploring APL... J confirms my suspicions... true beauty lies in the use of a language as well as its design. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
