What locale are you in when you start J? If you're in the z locale, then a=.4 is equivalent to a_z_=.4 and a_test_ will (failing to find the name 'a' in test) return that value.
Try 18!:5 '' and 18!:2 <'test' If the result of the former is an element of the latter, then you've got your explanation. -Dan -----Original Message----- From: programming-boun...@forums.jsoftware.com [mailto:programming-boun...@forums.jsoftware.com] On Behalf Of Björn Helgason Sent: Friday, October 11, 2013 11:36 AM To: Programming forum Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] bug? start j a=.4 a_test_ 4 On Oct 11, 2013 2:59 PM, "bill lam" <bbill....@gmail.com> wrote: > I guess your session was dirty. > > Пт, 11 окт 2013, Björn Helgason писал(а): > > al=: 3 : 0 > > 'a_vec_' al y > > : > > try. > > (x)=:(".x),y > > catch. > > (x)=:y > > end. > > ) > > > > 'a' al 1 2 3 > > 1 2 3 > > > > al 4 5 6 > > 1 2 3 4 5 6 > > a > > 1 2 3 > > a_vec_ > > 1 2 3 4 5 6 > > > > I think this to be a bug > > a_vec_ should be 4 5 6 > > > > This I ran on the Android. > > > > Have not tried anywhere else. > > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > -- For information about J forums see > > http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm > > -- > regards, > ==================================================== > GPG key 1024D/4434BAB3 2008-08-24 > gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4434BAB3 > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
