After watching a math video on YouTube I started to investigate the
implementation of alternating sequences in J.
Using the site search function, (alternating sequences site:jsoftware.com) I
discovered an entry in the NYCJUG of 2022-11-08 which contains an excellent
example:
calce=: 13 :
A couple notes here:
One is that 0j18":Y will give you 18 places after the decimal point
regardless of the magnitude of Y
Another is that we can inspect intermediate results in the expression
%-/%!2+x:i.x
Let's try that here with smaller values for x (and leaving out the x:
so that we're using f
Hello,
I have been reactiving some old code of mine and it seems that taraxml is now
broken.
load'tables/taraxml'
load'~addons\tables\taraxml\test\test.ijs'
readxlxsheets: worksheet not found
|assertion failure: assert
| assert x12-:readxlxsheets fnme
|[-47] c:\program files\j9.4\addons
Apparently it requires the msxml.exe for working on windows. Please try
download and install the msxml package from the net.

Hi Bill,
It works fine with the dependencies installed!
However, there are some security issues because the two components needed (dll
+ exe) have been retired by Microsoft and can now only be obtained from generic
software download sites.
The linux side failure was just an issue with a
You can see how Raul's 2nd example, where he does not add 2, has fewer
correct digits than the one where he does not add it because adding 2 gives
you two more useful terms, as he mentions.

There are a lot of convergent sequences given here
https://mathworld.wolfram.com/eContinuedFraction.html, e.g. for *e*:
2 1,;(<1 1),~&.>2*1+i.x:5 NB. A sequence of
integers
2 1 2 1 1 4 1 1 6 1 1 8 1 1 10 1 1
0j18":(+%)/2 1,;(<1 1),~&.>2*1+i.x:5
