I am just new to J, although this is the second attempt to learn the
language. As a introductory book, I started with 'the primer book', really
nice book and quite easy to follow. I am on page p66, where the rank term
is explained

"the rank of a noun is the count of its axes....".

SO it is basically the number of dimensions (atoms=0, lists=1, table=2,
...).

Based on the latter, why the rank of a list gives 3?

# 1 2 3

3


I would expect 1, because a list has 1 axis.


Thanks for your help.
