Thanks Brian! You are perfectly right, / works and is nicer and shorter. 20 5 0(*`%/"2@(,: (%:@* -.))@((,: , 1"1) % +/@[))10 8 2 0 1 1 0
But J translates / into ´:3 *`%/"2@(,: (%:@* -.))@((,: , 1"1) % +/@[) *`%`:3"2@(,: (%:@* -.))@((,: , 1"1) % +/@[) I guess thats why, while developping the program, I thought that ´:3 was the proper way to do it. But as you are quite right I will change it. Another character is saved by replacing 1"1 by 1: It seems to work. I don't quite understand why. 20 5 0(*`%/"2@(,: (%:@* -.))@((,: , 1:) % +/@[))10 8 2 0 1 1 0 - Bo >________________________________ > Fra: Brian Schott <schott.br...@gmail.com> >Til: programm...@jsoftware.com >Sendt: 14:10 fredag den 21. december 2012 >Emne: Re: [Jprogramming] Deduction, Induction, and Prediction. > >Why do you use `:3 and not / in deduce? >I have always thought the former was ugly. > >-- >(B=) <-----my sig >Brian Schott >---------------------------------------------------------------------- >For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
