I wonder, could you propose an actual assignment on what APL symbols you'd use for what in J?
What would you do with the cases when J uses the same or similar symbol for very different functions than classical APL (such as semicolons, brackets, tilde, star), and when J pairs monadic and dyadic verbs (or verbs with operators) differently from classical APL. In particular, what symbol would you use for the following? - the exponential/power verb (^), - the tally/copy verb (#), - the reflex/passive/evoke-name adverb (~), - the not/less verb (-.), - the to-polar/and verb (*.) - the raze/link verb (;) - the amend adverb (}) Ambrus ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
