Dear J Forum: Suppose that I wanted to run some code 100 times. I could use control statements: n =. 0 while. n < 100 do. . code goes here . n =. >: n end. Or I could enclose the code within a monadic function with a dummy argument and execute: code_function i. 100 or possibly code_function"0 i. 100 Disliking loops, I prefer the second option. However, I also dislike creating unnecessary functions. So I see merit to both ways. My question is whether J's built-in looping will more quickly execute the the second way. Are control statements bound to run more slowly? Thanks. Sincerely,
Leigh ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
