"intuitive" because in this case atoms of the index array do not select subarrays that are the same shape. -- RogerHui 2006-07-18 23:06:08
Where exactly this is specified? Dictionary page for } does not mention shape of subarrays.

'*' ((<1;2 3),<0;7) } 2 9$'-' *------*- --**----- Roger wrote that? Private communication? But then most of the thread responses i get from Andrew are strangely routed in my gMail client: they always end up in a new thread separating each time from the parent threads, so i probably just missed something. i would like the interpreter to be able to update subarrays of differing shapes, eg in graphic applications etc. i would like to see J more capable of dealing with lists - it is a major advantage that K has over J. List processing is a significant paradigm for regularizing interactions with data and it should be subsumed within J. ~greg ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
