Hi Samir,
Were the different values boxed before you assigned them? Because the string
and the integer are of different types they need to be boxed using ; so that
they can be held apart before they are assigned.
'a b c'=: (i. 2 3) ; 1 ; 'a string' NB. parenthesis in the array are
necessary because of right to left execution of verbs.
a
0 1 2
3 4 5
b
1
c
a string
Hope this is helpful.
Cheers, bob
