Both responses to my recent sorting question worked directly on the column in question rather than transposing and working with the equivalent row. Since verbs usually work with rows/lists of data, as a beginner I've tended to try to get arrays into a form where I can work with one or more rows and then transpose back again. However, a lot of example code I see in the forum, etc., often does NOT transpose arrays to a row-oriented format for column work.
>From a stylistic perspective (since both approaches work), is the preference more a matter of using fewer actions (for example, avoiding the necessary double array transposition when using rows) or is there just a preference in J for dealing with array columns directly? I'm trying to learn from what I see you all write. Thanks!
