Hi,
as a first step into the "land of J" I tried to build a fork(?)
to get a list of those numbers from a list, which can be devided
by one given number .
x is the one given number
y is the list of numbers to check/test
The whole thing should work like this
x <fork here> y
What I have so far is
0 = 3 #: 2 5 6 7 9 11 12
x y--------------
for all number, which can be divided by 3 it prints
0 0 1 0 1 0 1
which is correct - but not the answer I wanted.
I want to try this without using variables...this kind of solution
is called "tacit" ... if I recall it correctly.
My problem is, that the input list needs to be used twice and
the result need to be refed into the whole thing again.
The first time, y is used to calculate for each number y modulo x.
The the result is checked for being "0" or not.
And now I got stuck: How can I reapply y to the result to
filter all numbers, which are not divisable by x?
If there is already a verb which does all that for me - I don't
want to use it (for now), since I want to learn "how to J" :)
Any help is very appreciated.
And: Is a gordian knot in my head curable? ;)
Cheers!
Meino
