Hello!
Fairly recent J enthusiast here. I’m wondering about the idiomatic way to
iterate at most n times? I.e. do f^:n y, but with the possibility of an early
exit if some condition is met. Is it (u F. ]) y, where u is f but with some
Z:’s added? E.g
f=: 2&*
MAX=: n
u=: monad define
_2 Z: -.*MAX=: MAX - 1
_2 Z: some other condition
f y
)
But then you need to globally assign and reassign MAX and this doesn’t feel
very elegant. Another option of course is to use a for-loop with break.
Thanks, Anton Wallgren
