Consider the following from my session: a=: 1r100 b=: 1r10 %: a 1r10 %: b 0.316228 datatype %: a rational datatype %: b floating
Is there any way to know in advance if the verb will change the datatype? Since I am already using rational number shouldn't the verb return rational number? I.e., isn't rational datatype especially for exact representations? If so, why didn't %: b return a rational type? Any help, or pointers to relevant documentation, is highly appreciated. Cordially, Vijay. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
