Thanks. It's nice to find an array-based solution to something that looks loopy! These comments might help. (I talk about rows and columns as in the original problem, though in my code the intermediate array is transposed. Even columns are diagonals in the original!): "difs" is the expected

Sorry, I gave the correct verb in my second mail. Thanks for your solution. I'm not really sure I understand what cv is... Is it a monad (i.e. 3 : 0)? It has a reference to the x argument, so it seems to be a dyad. Also, what is the purpose of the colon on the first line of cv? Thanks, Jon -

rmo's definition? Anyway, here's an approach which works on the indices. Please note that I haven't tested it thoroughly for boundary problems. I just consider the rising diagonals as extra columns. Top & bottom indices will be reduplicated, but can be removed with nub. eg for LHA = 5, we get

Though, I should add, induction and recursion are very similar. There's a significant difference, though. Induction is much more like what recursive people call "tail recursion". In other words, once a function is done executing and you go on to the next function evaluation, you never come back to

Re: [Jprogramming] Learning Recursion

^: is induction, not recursion. You should use either $: or a named routine if you want recursion. Also, ^: is defined such that the left argument is constant and the right argument is the result of the previous function evaluation. (Or, initially, the initial right argument.) Still, you can sort
