Raul,
Yes, rank was the problem. It hit me while I was eating dinner
but your solution was different than what I expected (they usually are):
Raul:
dis =.4 :'%:+/*:x-y' "1
(0 0, 2 _3 ,: _1 2) dis 1 1,_1 _2,:3 4
1.41421 3.16228 4.47214
0 0 dis 1 1,_1 _2,:3 4
1.41421 2.23607 5
I need to study this more. My solution was:
dis =. 4 :'%:+/"1 *:x-y'
(0 0, 2 _3 ,: _1 2) dis 1 1,_1 _2,:3 4
1.41421 3.16228 4.47214
0 0 dis 1 1,_1 _2,:3 4
|length error: dis
| %:+/"1*:x -y
So my scheme doesn't work for one-to-many. It just works on one-to-one
& many-to-many (both nouns must be the same size).
I had no idea you could put the rank operator outside the quotes!
Where does the language description doc discuss this trick?
