An example is a script which evaluates and plots electric and magnetic fields under and near powerlines as well as some for T-line parameters. A load flow program written in APL has been partially moved to J. J lends itself to matrix manipulation such as using the Y matrix of a system and from that forming the Z-Bus matrix which lends itself to fault analysis. These are practical applications. The advantage of J lies in the fact that the programming effort can be concentrated on the problem rather than the declarations of variable types, etc. and experimentation with individual parts of the script is easy to do. There are businesses which had in the past used APLĀ  and could do the same with J

Yes the above are mathematical applications but are of concern and are not "puzzles"

My many trips around the J home website have given me the impression that J is 
very much geared to maths and puzzles.

I would be genuinely interested in reading about real world appllications of J.

The possibility of a forum dealing with the extended variations would be  
useful in that the present forum would then deal with more realistic problems  
rather  than the more esoteric ones. We don't need to slow down operations, 
useful to all, to satisfy the needs of a few.

Any digital expression is limited by machine word limits  and data limits. 
Machine limits exceed data limits in most cases- -useful where multiple 
operations   result in digital fuzz that is insignificant relative to real data 
fuzz.

I think this proposal would require, at minimum, a rewrite of ve.c

Also, each primitive which takes numeric arguments and/or produces a
numeric result would need a test to make sure it behaved properly for
each different mode of number handling.

Want to take a crack at it?

Thanks,
