Hi gc, I realized we all posted solutions without giving you feedback as requested
Some feedback: 1. My style is to eliminate parentheses as I find it harder to see the substance of the function (# - [: +:@(+/) '('&i.) '((()' is equivalent but with fewer parentheses I sometimes prefer trains over bond - again, just style (# - [: +:@(+/) '(' i. ]) '((()' 2. The usage of i. is not intuitive as you are seeking 1 if the character is ). I would be more explicit about that (# - [: +:@(+/) ')' = ]) '((()' 3. In my version, I would remove the cap (# - ')' +:@(+/)@:= ]) '((()' 4. I considered eliminating the ] but that resulted in more parentheses and I thought it was less clear (# - +: @ (+/) @: (=&')') ) '((()' but we can move the bond to the right and parentheses aren't needed around it (# - +: @ (+/) @: =&')' ) '((()' compared with #-(+:@(+/@('('&i.))) I think this would be my final restyling of the concept of your version - sent from my mobile and tested with jandroid so not tested thoroughly On Dec 1, 2015 5:07 PM, "Geoff Canyon" <gcan...@gmail.com> wrote: > Spoiler (my solution, looking for feedback) > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > > F =: #-(+:@(+/@('('&i.))) > > > If S is the string from the site, then > > > F S > > returns the ending floor (the first part of the challenge). > > > Any suggestions on improving the syntax are welcome, I only dabble in J. > > > thx > > > gc > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
