Re: [Jprogramming] Advent of Code 2022 in J, as a tutorial

After a quick review of these: Some of them look like they would be good for a beginner - especially those which spell out the reasoning that went into building the code. I'm pretty sure it's the thought processes of the J programmer which Henry is after here. Others would be more problematic for

Re: [Jprogramming] Advent of Code 2022 in J, as a tutorial

Henry, Over the last few years, I have been using math problems on Quora to polish my J skills. I have solved probably a couple thousand solutions to math problems on Quora using J. Here is a small sample of some of my most recent Quora problem solutions. Do you think thes

Re: [Jprogramming] Advent of Code 2022 in J, as a tutorial

I am trying to write to users at the earnest-tire-kicker level and above: someone who has decided that J is worth a look and is deciding whether it's worth putting serious time into.  [This is the same level of user that we aimed the first section of the NuVoc pages at]. If you're trying to un

Re: [Jprogramming] Advent of Code 2022 in J, as a tutorial

I agree.  J can be used at different levels of sophistication and commitment.  Any solution is welcome as long as it's clearly explained. This feature is aimed at obstacles to new use of J: * 'No one can read that!'  Which is like saying no one can read music, an excuse for not trying.  The re

Yes, of course, please contribute. Like Jan-Pieter you could provide a little background in the Preamble to explain. Your experience may be invaluable to people less experienced with J (or even more !!). > On 5 Aug 2023, at 4:59 pm, Luke D wrote: > > I have a number of solutions for the easi

I have a number of solutions for the easier PE problems I can add (I also have AoC solutions for various years). However, I have only been using J for 3 years, so am I invited to contribute? Best Regards, Luke De La Cruz On Fri, Aug 4, 2023 at 8:27 PM Henry Rich wrote: > I have enjoyed reading

I have enjoyed reading your solutions.  It's great to see the language used for somewhat realistic problems. Will those of you with Project Euler solutions step up and showcase your J?  Just add to the ShareMyScreen page. Henry Rich On 8/4/2023 9:31 AM, Jan-Pieter Jacobs wrote: I've been wo

Re: [Jprogramming] Advent of Code 2022 in J, as a tutorial

Since these are personal explanations of the programming thought-process, I think it's proper that they be grouped by author within each subject.  I will put my name on my AoC contributions.  Jan-Pieter, you can create a section for yours. Project Euler is widely known and annotated solutions

I'd agree that examples are great, e.g., Rosetta Code is a great compendium of programming language equiproblem solution comparisons. A comma-delimited listing of would be too much, as there aren't that many J active users, at least judging from the names I've seen past 2 years on the general an

Re: [Jprogramming] Advent of Code 2022 in J, as a tutorial

Great initiative, Henry. I'm considering gradually adding my versions. How do you think it's best to structure this? One section per person with a list of pages for each problem, or put solutions of different persons close to each other? My solutions are still a work in progress, though; currently

How do you convince someone that J is really different?  Examples seem contrived. I am trying something new.  I have used J to solve a suite of programming problems posed by an impartial source, to wit Advent of Code 2022.  Tire-kickers can compare the J solutions against those in other langu
