As may be seen, Roger Hui felt unable to advise re my private enquiry
on one of his essays
in the J Wiki. Anyone else feel like commenting on the apparently
unproductive lines of
code?
Thanks,
Mike

Dear Roger,
I've been trying to use material from your Essay on extended precision
functions at
https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Essays/Extended_Precision_Functions#Utilities
and am puzzled by apparently unproductive code in the hyperbolic
functions,
eg
sinh=: DP&$: : (4 : 0) " 0
if. x>10^.|y do. (1r2*_1^0>y)*x exp |y end.
if. 1<|y do. -:-/x exp y,-y end.
e=. 0.1^x
n=. e (>i.1:) y (^%!@]) 1+2*i.>.0.5*y^.e
+/(x:!.0 y) (^%!@]) 1+2x*i.n
)
I would expect the if statements either
to modify or produce values for use later in the function
or
to have a "return." before the "end."
Not at all important, but I'd welcome your ideas when you have time.
Very sad about John Scholes. I'd guess you enjoyed your collaboration
at Dyalog,
Best Wishes
Mike
