Re: [Jprogramming] The Accessible Dictionary -- Rank-information on portal page

@Raul -- I think what you're proposing is in line with Henry's proposals (see earlier thread), which I'm in-process of implementing. But these will show on individual pages, not the NuVoc portal page. Trouble is, I don't seriously believe in rank information on the NuVoc portal -- much less the "m

Re: [Jprogramming] ? and ?. have different ranks

Raul, No, that LCG does not do well for the bsd version (the ms version only has 32,000 numbers it can generate, so it is impractical, but works as needed). Consider the two examples below, one on J602 and one on J701. Judging by the how the first few numbers do work, it may by possible to fix by

Re: [Jprogramming] The Accessible Dictionary -- Rank-information on portal page

Looking at your current nuvoc page, I see 22 distinct "ranks". The most common rank entries are _ _ _ (27 of those) and 0 0 0 (26 of those). Actual numeric values are limited to 0, 1, 2 and _. and there are also a variety of abstract values (mv, mu, lv, rv, lu, ru). So one observation is that the

No, @Ben, it wasn't a question, it was an observation. But questions arise... I'm just thinking of Henry's students when they discover this "feature". As they will... when we've made it easy for them to discover. It's as well to have our answers ready. (?.) offers itself as a plug-compatible repl

I see... In fact your question is why monadic ? has rank 0, instead of _ , which would make it like behave more like ?. concerning b. 0 . We agree that a rank 0 ?. wouldn't be useful: querydot =: (?.)"0 querydot (10#100) 46 46 46 46 46 46 46 46 46 46 querydot"1 (10#100) 46 46 46 46 46

I'm watching what's being said on this thread, prior to rewriting: http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Vocabulary/querydot Its present wording is wrong. To handle the new rank information, it will need rewriting in conventional format. So I have a genuine reason to know why (? b.0) and (?. b.0) are dif
