I've been following this forum for months with fascination, trying to discover how to go forward with J. The forum content alternately inspires and bewilders me. Function level programming is not coming easily to a 62 year old. Terseness is powerful and challenging, but the neatest expression is bewildering if not understood. Understanding code takes time, a lot longer than either the reading or the writing of it, so Pablo's style is what I want to emulate. Thank you, Pablo!
I agree with you, that understanding is crucial. That said, understanding tends to be relatively easy if you have data from the domain (that you understand), and you can test the functional expressions (and sub-expressions) against that data (and you understand the results). -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
