[Jprogramming] Very strange and interesting behavior

[Linda Alvord]

I was typing fast and produced this repeatable phenomenon. 

 

   f=:%*+-#

   5!:4 <

5!:4 <

   f

% * + - #

   

Any string seems to work this way

 

   f=: 13 :'x*:y%x'

   5!:4 <

5!:4 <

   f

[ *: %~

 

I would expect either:

 

   5!:4 <'f'

  -- [      
--+- *:     
  L- ~ --- %

 

or

   5!:4 <f

5!:4 < f

   

Linda
