Right, but I noticed that she was using 13 : using /: /: y & wasn't sure she was aware of an issue.

Moreover, I find that ([: /: /:) is NOT special; surprising, because usually when u@:v y is fast, ([: u v) y is too; not here.

The definitive list of special code is at

favour the [:u v idiom to u@v .

So, for Linda's benefit,  does [:/:/: not also benefit from
special code?

Maybe simpler but it requires evaluation of /:/:y twice,  whereas
Raul's oc manages to make rank the right hand argument to (] - {) .

This tacitisation might be what you're looking for:
    13 :'r-(i.~ y){ r =./:/:y'

i.~ (] - {) [: /: /:


It reproduces oc except for using [: rather than @  !

Here's another way to write the code that so far is the fastest. How does it compare?

A=:'abcabbe'
B=:'babe'
f=: 13 :'(/:/:y)-(y i. y){/:/:y'
g=: 13 :'((f x)>: (( ~.y)i.x){(#/.~y),0: y)#x'
A g B
cab
        f
([: /: /:) - i.~ { [: /: /:
    g
[ #~ ([: f [) >: ([ i.~ [: ~. ]) { ([: #/.~ ]) , [: 0: ]

Hmm...

A bugfixed version of my previous implementation (it broke when x -. y was empty) performs approximately the same, for me:

cle=: ,~ #~ i.@#@,~ e. [: ; (2*#/.~@]) (}.&.>~ #@[ {. ])~ (]i.,~) </. i.@#@,~

I say approximately, because timing variations mean that when I test on the same data, sometimes it's faster and sometimes it's slower than

    oc=: i.~ (] - {) /:@/:
    cless =: [ #~ oc@:[ >: (i.~~.) { (#/.~,0:)@]

That said, Boss's implementation is clearly more concise...

Thanks,

That's a very cool solution, and much quicker than the one based on
progressive index-of. Instead of taking the occurrence count of both x
and y, it just takes the count for x and compares it to the total
number of occurrences in y, given by (#/.~).

Here's a comparison of the two methods. It turns out in the version
based on progressive index-of, the desired verb can be obtained just
from replacing (i.) with (-.) and then using the first column of the
result to select from x, so I've used that version.

    NB. Shared verb for occurrence count
    oc=: i.~ (] - {) /:@/:
    NB. Simplified form of what Roger and I posted
    cless1 =: [ {~ [: {."1 #@[ ({. -.&(,.oc) }.) [ i. ,
    NB. Tacitized R.E. Boss solution
    cless2 =: [ #~ oc@:[ >: (i.~~.) { (#/.~,0:)@]

    NB. test data
    'a b' =. 500 ({.;~}.) +&(1e5 ?@$ 26)&.(a.&i.) 'a'
    10 (6!:2) 'a cless1 b'
0.0178952
    10 (6!:2) 'a cless2 b'
0.0063745
    a (cless1 -: cless2) b
1

To summarize, here's the fastest solution so far:
    oc=: i.~ (] - {) /:@/:
    cless =: [ #~ oc@:[ >: (i.~~.) { (#/.~,0:)@]

    'abcabbe' strikeb2 'babe'
cab

Curious how it performs compared to the other solutions.

Subject: [Jprogramming] A Different Less?

Hello

I am looking for a verb(cless) that does something similar to
Less(-.) but counting the elimination, for example:

    'abcabbe' -. 'abbe'

c

    'abcabbe' cless 'babe'  NB. get rid of y letters counting the
occurrences

'cab'


It is easier to define such a verb recursively: 'abcabbe' cless 'babe'
equald to 'e' cless~ 'b' cless~ 'a' cless~ 'b' cless~ 'abcabbe'


I think recursive definition isn't a usual J-ic approach.


How would you implement such a verb elegantly(with which I mean short)?


June
