Seems consistent to me. 5b36 There are 6 "ones" (5^0) and 3 "fives" (5^1), that makes 21. Obviously you can get 21 using 5b41 too. > 2 > To use verbs like "roundint" or "roundbanker" is there a module I > need to load, if so which one..? Yes you need to load the numeric script: load 'numeric' If you are looking for something that you think might be available in a script somewhere in the J base library, then the Find in Files utility can be useful: Edit | Find in Files Choose the "Folders" tab. Find what: roundbaker In folders: ~system Click "Find" button. In the results: Place your cursor in the line that you are interested in. Click "Open" button. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
