my finiteinteger verb
(quote:

finiteinteger =: ((= <.) *. (~: <:))
keepfinint =: (#~ finiteinteger)

endquote)

does what you want in your simple case

but still, big floats may be troublesome,
just as Henry pointed out

I see:

(<.= >.) 1 2.5 __ 3 4.5 6

1 0 1 1 0 1


This has the same issue as (=<.)

I'll try it out:

<. = >. 1 2.5 __ 3 4.5 6

1 0 0 0 0 0

0 1 0 1 0 0

0 0 1 0 0 0

0 0 0 0 1 0

0 0 0 0 0 1


Not sure what this does?

What I'm really looking for, is a verb that finds integers in a list:

datatype 2.5

floating

datatype 3

integer

datatype __

floating


So J considers __ as "floating"


   So I want a verb "isinteger" that marks the integers in a vector,
where __
is in the list, and is considered floating:

    isinteger 1 2.5 __ 3 4.5 6
1 0 0 1 0 1

And maybe the inverse also:

isfloating 1 2.5 __ 3 4.5 6

0 1 1 0 1 0


My (=<,) doesn't do it:

(=<.)1 2.5 __ 3 4.5 6

1 0 1 1 0 1


So what would "isinteger" look like?

I use the (=<.) verb to find integers in a list:


* (=<.)1 2.5 2.7 3 4.5 6*

*1 0 0 1 0 1*

* (#~(=<.))1 2.5 2.7 3 4.5 6*

*1 3 6*

I ran across an interesting result when infinity is in the list:

* (=<.)1 2.5 __ 3 4.5 6*

*1 0 1 1 0 1*

* (#~(=<.))1 2.5 __ 3 4.5 6*

*1 __ 3 6*


So J is saying that the floor of infinity is infinity (and the ceiling
of
infinity is also infinity). Since infinity is not a number, it would
seem
that an error should be generated when taking the floor of infinity, or
perhaps NAN, or a zero? In any case, this messes up my nice
integer-finding
verb. Is the\re a mathematical justification for defining the floor of
infinity to be infinity?
