Dear list,
I have been surprised by this:
---
]a=: _2 ]\ 1 2 3 4
1 2
3 4
b=: 6
'x%d%d' printf b; b
x66
'x%d%s%d' printf b; (":a) ; b
x
6
1 2
3 4
6
---
I do not understand who adds the newlines in the last case. I'd expect
something like
x61 2
3 46
especially when
'x%d%s%d' printf b; ('abc',LF,'cd') ; b
x6abc
cd6
I am aware that the shape of ('abc',LF,'cd') is just 6 while the
shape of 'a' is 2 3, but is this supposed to result in the shown
behaviour?
Thanks for your hints.
Ruda
