I find it interesting how different my approach has to be if I want a J 
solution compared to a C or Java solution. I often try to impose my imperative 
version onto J and start getting stuck trying to express it, such as in this 
case. I often find that I can't really use J for the solution because of the 
size of the array I'd have to create / or in general the memory required - I'm 
sure there's some other way round it.
