I think that that is because you have already learned bignumber in some other language,but also because the absolute value of an exponent is probably not what you wanted to accomplish. That said, if you want to define bignumber=: (&|)(@^) or bignumber=: 1 :'m&|@^' or bignumber=:2 :'m&|@(n&^)' or whatever it is that you need, I think that that should work? -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
