The verb form is different from the gerund form, for whatever reasons. But this is documented in the dictionary (and in NuVoc, like Henry mentioned earlier).
I'm not sure what other answer can be given, other than going into detailed explanations of how they are different, and/or why both forms are useful. Or, perhaps, if we need "moral justification", we could go into examples of quirks in other programming languages (but all programming languages have quirks - they seem to be unavoidable - so that might be boring). -- Raul On Tue, Dec 27, 2016 at 2:20 PM, Brian Schott <[email protected]> wrote: > This is what the OP needed, I think. > Except that instead of the u} form this is the gerund form. > So I don't think it is the answer, either. > > 2 4 [`(0 1"_)`]} 3 2$0 > 2 4 > 2 4 > 0 0 > > > On Tue, Dec 27, 2016 at 2:09 PM, Henry Rich <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I have removed the deprecation - it was my misunderstanding of something >> Roger wrote. >> >> The gerund form would be, in simplest form, >> >> 2 4 [`0:`]} 3 2$0 >> >> -- > (B=) > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
