Hello Devon;
Although this is what I aspired to do in a high school programming
project back in the 70s, it strikes me as far too advanced for a
newbie. If your actual intention was to scare him off, I'll be a
coward and not interfere. There are many steps between what Bart
used and what you used, many ways to maintain the endorphin level.
I don't scare easily :-)
The only thing I don't understand in it is the '1'
I did the following
6j99
easy, just a complex number
i:6j99
oh I get it, similar to matlab, scilab etc.
o.i:6j99
huh? oh, I see, times pi
1 o.i:6j99
huh? Ah got it. If you put 1 before, you get the sine. Well why not.
+/~
What's this. Let's try
+/~ 1 2 3 4
Oh, I see, some sort of matrix creation.
Ok, I'm done.
Thanks for the challenge :-) :-)
My only comment to Bart's sentence is: is this normal?

OK - see how you do with one of my favorites:
load 'plot'
pts=. +/~ 1 o. i:6j99 NB. What does this "line noise" do?
'surface' plot pts

Just being extrovert here: I'm thoroughly enjoying myself with
this J
language that I started playing with this morning. I've been
programming
for
20 years or so, and this is really new and exciting!
I'm shocked that I'm already understanding the bit of line noise
below :-)
