J supports various syntactic conventions for lists. You could say that list comprehensions are unavoidable in J, and you would not be far from the truth. > I can, however, build the list of > Pythagorean triples.

All uses of names have ambiguities which depend on the values associated with those names. Some languages classify some sets of values as "types" and enforce syntactic differences such that only one "type" can be validly used with a particular syntactic structure. Personally, I would rather that that effort went into clearly documenting the purpose and domain of the code in question. Domains only rarely correspond to "types", in the general case. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
