No such facility exists. Personally, when I am trying to understand tacit expressions, I use related expressions which capture or display intermediate results in various ways. For example: (+/ % #) 1 2 3 could be replaced by (+/ ; #) 1 2 3 or, if you prefer (+/ ,&< #) 1 2 3 or, I could use (([smoutput)@+/ : #) 1 2 3 or, I could use (+/ % (3 :'n=:y')@#) 1 2 3 n and so on... Essentially, I perform experiments to figure out what various parts of an expression do. I find this extremely helpful. Also, I am not sure that an automatic tacit to explicit converter would be very instructive. The only elements of a tacit expression which can be simply converted to explicit form are those that have infinite rank. And, even there, it would need to make up variable names in many cases. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
