_ is a big number. J can have no numbers which are larger than _ In the context of the right argument for " you could probably use 9 instead of _ and you'd almost never notice the difference. (One exception might be if you are dealing with intermediate results in a fast Fourier transform, and the underlying data was some integer multiple of 1024.) In fact, for many algorithms, you might be able to get away with using 2 instead of _ But we like to use _ so we do not have to worry about those cases where smaller numbers fail. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
