The old APL idiom was
'' {reshape} data
which translates as
'' $ , data
In J.

Clearly, a is numeric. How can I change a to a numeric atom 3 , rather
than a one element list 3 ?
I need to find where the 3's are in a list. The result of executing some
expression has produced a one item list of a 3 .
I think I may have known how in APL once upon a time.
