Hello Roger;

I guess I don't see the criterion for using the a+b*i. c form, so I don't see the feature-ness of random behaviour. I guess I'm funny that way.

   linrep 100 110 120 130 140 150 160 170
100+10*i.8

Hello Roger;

I guess some things can get under the radar (or is it below the event horizon?):


linrep 100 110 120 130 NB. misses the rank 1 case
100 110 120 130
   linrep  ,: 100 110 120 130
100+10*i. 1 4
(looking forward to the fix.)

Non integral multipliers seem to be handled.

Also the part of linrep that results in a <;._1 seems to use, in order, ' ' '|' '/' ',' and ':' as delimiters.

This feature may be obvious to all, but it wasn't to me.

    A =: ,5
    5!:5 <'A'
,5
    A =: 5
    5!:5 <'A'
5
