David hello, Thank you for your answer 2007/11/9, Devon McCormick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Tacit may make something run faster but other considerations may greatly > outweigh this. > (I often prefer explicit formulations because I find them clearer and, > very > often, performance > lust wastes the most important time - _my_ time)
I appreciate this, but personally I find explicit definition in J less clearer than similirar code in other languages I'm familiar with. So this is not point of my question. For instance, in your example the performance penalty is because you are > creating a > rank 0 verb, not because one is tacit versus explicit. I understand this also. That is why I tested noop of rank 0 against of tacit noop with rank 0. Difference is striking. Problem is that sometimes you really need to process each item and to do it fast regards, Danil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
