Yes. I admit that cyclef wouldn't be very useful in J. I did it for improving my tacit-fying ability -- I couldn't see an obvious tacit implementation for that adverb, so I tried it. Many functional languages, like Lisp, Haskell and Erlang, take lists(one-way traversal), not arrays(random-access), as their fundamental data structure. cyclef would be a useful asset under this circumstance. > > -- > Raul > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
