Hmmm...... What provocation are you talking about?
The objective is to get the first number from a list of primes. Is there a better way of getting the first number from a list of numbers putting them each in a box than making it first a character and the taking the first of each element making it a number and summing up the resulting list? Doing this as a step by step operation as an example and then taking those steps and creating a one liner as a further example brought about that line. I fail to see how that can be a provocation and what part of it is a provocation? Is it possible to do without making the step over to chars and back, is it possible to do without boxes, is it difficult or hard to read. Where is the provocation and who is being provoked by this example and exercise in J operations? 2010/11/16 bill lam <[email protected]> > Without knowing the detail, I suspect this is a result of 13 : > If that was the case, your provocation would be invalid. > > Пнд, 15 Ноя 2010, Björn Helgason писал(а): > > It would be interesting to know how many J ers can easily read tacit > > programs. > > > > A line like > > > > [: +/ [: > [: ".&.> [: [ [: {.&.> [: [ [: ":&.>@p: i. > > > > This is something I am not too comfortable to read nor write just like > that > > even if I do know what it is supposed to do. > > > > Question is if people see it as a better way to program like this tacitly > > than just do it in more lines and easily understood steps? > > > > -- > > Björn Helgason, Verkfræðingur > > Fornustekkum II > > 781 Hornafirði, > > t-póst: [email protected] > > gsm: +3546985532 > > sími: +3544781286 > > http://groups.google.com/group/J-Programming > > > > > > Tæknikunnátta höndlar hið flókna, sköpunargáfa er meistari einfaldleikans > > > > góður kennari getur stigið á tær án þess að glansinn fari af skónum > > /|_ .-----------------------------------. > > ,' .\ / | Með léttri lund verður | > > ,--' _,' | Dagurinn í dag | > > / / | Enn betri en gærdagurinn | > > ( -. | `-----------------------------------' > > | ) | (\_ _/) > > (`-.
