Sure... J is designed for working with regular data structures. Trees -- or at least binary trees -- are irregular. Specifically, in the context of the KD tree, to properly interpret the significance of a child node, you must include information which is not represented at the node, but which mus

Raul: Can you expand on why trees are bad in J? Coming from a C and Lisp mentality, tree search wins a lot of problems. kd-trees break down in higher dimensions (aka, for things like image databases, where I guess locality hashing will beat a brute force search), but for modest dimensionality (~1

All of the numbers I've reported are with a left argument to timex. The argument I used was 10 for the 500s, and 1000 for the 50s, except my phone where I had to use 1 to get stable answers for the 50s. Paul On Thu, Sep 13, 2012 at 12:09 AM, Roger Hui wrote: > 1. The %. implementation does n

Tree structures -- especially binary tree structures -- are frequently a bad choice in J. Personally, if I were working with spatial data in J, I'd probably start with something like this: NB. example arbitrary set of points: points=: ?.20 3$0 prepad=: $&__@,~@{:@$, ], $&_@,~@{:@$ searchable=: /:

I also struggled a bit to find out how to enable the J Keyboard on my HTC One S running JellyBean. In the end I discovered that once the keyboard comes up in the J application, I can drag down the bar at the top of the window to show the option to "Select Input Method". On Thu, Sep 13, 2012 at 7:2

0. One of the goals of the linear representation (which you were using to generate the multi-digit display of 0.1&) is that if you re-enter the line you get the original noun/verb/whatever back. For some numbers many digits may be required, esp. if the code is a bit off regarding how many digits a
