Hello Philip;
It looks like 0{y is 'year',one and 0{yy is 'year',ell
try
check =: ({&a.)@>:(a.i.])
on them and see if that makes it more visible.
The font you are using may render one and lower-case l so they appear
alike. I could see only a one pixel difference, perhaps even 1/2 a pixel
with ClearType.

Can someone help me understand why this is going wrong here? I've been
staring at it for half an hour and can't figure it out. Basically, I
need to understand how to discover what the difference is between two
variables, denoted y and yy. In the failing application, under debug I
see
y n 2$(<5$'year1'),(<4$'year')
I don't think I can get a similar report for the global yy.
Thanks for any suggestions!
