Re: [Jprogramming] Can verbs be defined "inside" other verbs?

2020-10-24 Thread Henry Rich
Not a silly question at all. No.  Every verb has access to its own private namespace and to the public namespaces.  No explicit verb can access the private namespace of another verb.  Where the verb is defined makes no difference. If you want v to access nouns from u, you must pass them as ar

I have an explicitly defined verb v say Verb v uses, inside its definition, another verb u say Verb u depends on a constants which are calculated inside v. Can I “redefine” u inside v? Apologies if this is an obviously silly question. ---

I just realized that I don't need Newton: 2/x + 4.9 = 0? 2/x = 49/10 2 = 49/10 * x x = 2/(49/10) = 2*(10/49) = 20/49 = 0.4081632653 Skip Cave Cave Consulting LLC On Sat, Oct 24, 2020 at 10:12 AM Skip Cave wrote: > The Newton Raphson root finder using the new J definition of derivative is: >

The Newton Raphson root finder using the new J definition of derivative is: N=: 1 : '- u % u deriv_jcalculus_ 1' How would I use N to solve for x in the equation 2/x + 4.9 = 0? Skip Cave Cave Consulting LLC -- For information
