That's not a contradiction. '' is an example of a 1d empty array. i.0 is another example > 2) empty array of numbers, That would be an array which contains no numbers, yes? Actually it probably means "An array with a numeric type for atoms which has a zero in at least one of its dimensions." Since type and dimension are different, and since in a homogeneous array the type is stored independent of the array elements, I do not think that there are any contradictions here. > 3) 1d array with rank > 1 That is a contradiction. > 4) empty array with rank > 1 That is not a contradiction. i.0 0 is an example of an empty array with rank greater than 1. In fact there are arbitrarily many such arrays. rank > 1 means that there are more than one non-negative integers to describe its shape. Empty means that at least one of those integers is 0. So this would be: an array which has multiple dimensions at least one of which is 0. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
